Maurice Fenwick Bisset

Maurice George Fenwick Bisset[1] (né Fenwick, also spelt Fenwicke), a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin,[2] was an Irish Anglican priest in the second half of the 19th century. He was Archdeacon of Raphoe from his collation on 29 January 1846[3] until 1852. He died on 6 August 1879.[4] He assumed the extra surname Bisset by royal licence in 1821, when his wife inherited the Bisset of Lessendrum estate.[5]

This person's surname is Fenwick (pre-1821) or Fenwick Bisset (after 1821), not Bisset (alone).
