Thank you so much, Emilton.  Now why couldn't I find them?  Like many members of my Fairey family James was a shoemaker and probably couldn't compete with the burgeoning factories, though he did continue in his profession in NZ.

Thanks, Margaret.  I do already have full information on the Fairey family, John and Thomasin Fairey being my direct ancestors.  Thomasin's father's name, John Dixey, shows also in the BVRI, but she was actually born illegitimately to Elizabeth Lawson and is entered as such in the baptism and marriage registers.  The Faireys (Fairys) were Baptists, so the chapel registers show their actual birth date rather than a baptism date, which is useful.  James Fairey was an older brother of my direct ancestor Amos.
