Alfred Bolton Fairey b 1891
« on: Wednesday 29 April 20 15:58 BST (UK) »
I have the front cover of the discharge papers of Alfred Bolton Fairey in 1919.  He had served with the Northumberland Fusiliers, though an earlier record has him with the 4th Battalion Suffolk Regiment in 1915.  This info from Family Search.  I cannot find a birth record for Alfred and am unable to discover the names of his parents.  His army record says he was born in Caxton or Abington Cambs.
Can anyone help, please?

That was quick!  I had only got as far as a marriage of George Fairey of Wellingborough and Cora Burt Boulton of Barnet when looking for a Fairey/Boulton marriage, but certainly the parents Henry Bath/Barth Fairey and Martha look a very good match.  In my Fairey research, mostly confined to neighbouring Huntingdonshire, I have come across several Bath/Barth Faireys before.  Henry and Martha (Robinson) married in Caxton in 1878, so that seems pretty conclusive.
Thank you very much.

Thanks, too for your contribution.

I'm always on the Hunt for new Faireys  :)

Alfred Bolton Fairey Age   24
Birth Cambridgeshire
Service number   203041
Regiment   Suffolk Regiment
Unit / Battalion   4th Battalion
Year   1915
Residence town   ABINGDON

I checked the above Army Record on F M P as far as I can see  does not mention a parent/s name but his occupation given as a Horsekeeper

His death confirms his dob - you should be able to find him on the 1939 register

Looks as though both father and son (and I dare say also Alfred's brothers) were working on the farm in Pamplisford.
