Roxburghshire / Fairbairns in Roxburghshire
« on: Friday 03 November 06 11:13 GMT (UK) »
Am looking for any descendants of the offspring of Alexander Fairbairn (born Ednam c.1788 and Isabella (nee Aitchison):
Jane (born. c.1812); Alexander (born c.1813); Thomas (born parish of Morebattle, c.1814) James (born Eccles, c. 1815); Isabella (born Whitton, Roxburghshire c.1821); John (born Oxnam, c.1826); Agnes (born Roxburghshire c.1829); Helen (born Roxburghshire, c.1831).
Jane married James Hills, and her younger sister Isabella (or Isabel) married William Hills (James's brother). There is also a seven-year old grandson called James living with Alexander and Isabella in 1851, who could possibly be the son of their widowed son James, also living in the household at that time. Another grandson Alexander was also living with them, who was the son of their son Thomas.
Isabella and William Hills emigrated to Canada c.1851. She remarried there in 1865.
