William Farebrass (Soldier)

Fairbrass was a former soldier, but the hand-to-hand fighting in and around the Bull Ring was the only serious battle that he ever fought.

Hi all

I recently left the Royal Navy in which I've known a Fairbrass for about 30 years. Unbeknownst to either of us it would appear that he is a likely relative; as via this thread I have found that I have Fairbrass ancestors. John O'Shea has done a one name study on this name and assures me that this is highly likely.

My friends grandfather was Joseph Fairbrass who married  Florence L Humphreys in 1912 in West Ham. Their son John was born in 1917 (now deceased). Would any kind soul(s) help me trace his lineage back so I can find a connection?

Many thanks in advance

David
