Hi Susan,
Yes I am still researching the Fairbrother family, not as much as I would like i'm afraid, work gets in the way mostly.
There are many trails for the Fairbrothers so It is quite easy to wander off along the wrong track but if you're researching the same branch as me, I have Abraham Fairbrother born in Castle Donnington in the county of Leicestershire, circa 1849. Abraham was married to Sarah Stevenson circa 1849 - 1907. He was the son of John Fairbrother (My great great great grandfather), who was also born Castle Donnington, 24th March 1820 and married Hannah Cliff who was born in Wymeswold (Possibly spelt Wimeswold), Leicestershire, circa 1827.
If we are on the same branch / tree, I have much more information that preceeds the above information I could share with you - it would just take me some time to collate it all and send it your way.
Just out of curiosity, what side of the Canadian branch are you from, do you know Nancy Bennet at all or Duke Fairbrother. They are from the Vancouver district and my wife and I are due to arrive in Vancouver on 05th September this year when we'll be viviting distant relatives on Vancouver Island fpor the first time ever before driving across the Rockies to Calgary and High River.
If you're from that region, we could maybe arrange to meet up and discuss things further.
Good luck and kind regards
Cliff Fairbrother
