Kia Ora Tim
Wonder where you fit into Tree? Thomas Fairey fell off the Butterley Ironworks building a few days before Christmas 1892 leaving a wife and 9 children.
I have collected info on the Fairy/Fairey clan for 20+ years and this winter will be publishing  THE BOOK! The family actually went to Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa!
Do you wish to add anything from your connection??
THANK SUZARD!!
