Alexander Fairbairn

#1161, b. Dec 1788, d. bt 1851 - 1855

FatherJames Fairbairn ** (say 1760 - )
MotherAgnes Lindsay (say 1760 - )

Recruit (AnotherWanted) The project would like to recruit another representative of this line.
With an Ednam birth is it possible that there is a connection to the "Smiths of Ednam" line? However Alexander's baptism shows his father James as a carter.
We now have a representative (RF(Bob)F-34) for the line of the John married to Margaret DEANS, likely to be the son John with the family in 1851. Naming pattern and place "fit", but proof is lacking. So, a descendant of one of the proven sons would be excellent to aid the proof.
Alexander and family moved around the Borders: married Coldstream, children baptised in Earlston, Maxton Eccles, Morebattle, and Oxnam (at least).
