Note(Parent Assumed)William? Fairbairn is the assumed parent of William Fairbairn *
Reby Dodd's Whos Which assigns a as parents of both the William who married Jean Wanless, and the John or David who married Jane Williamson.
The identification of William and John aka David as brothers has been reinforced by family information, although hard evidence as to their parents seems to be lacking.

NB The brother Thomas also assigned by Reby to the family is not the one shown in her book as married to Helen Kinniburg, and also appears (from dna evidence) not to be the one married to Elspeth Redpath, although this latter Thomas is related somehow.
