William Fairbairn *

#1207, (1790 - Feb 1872)
Assumed fatherWilliam? Fairbairn (say 1760 - ); Reby DODD's "Who's Which" shows a William and Elise (ELLIOT) FAIRBAIRN as parents of children William, David and Thomas
Assumed motherElsie (Aylsie) Elliot (say 1760 - )
BirthWilliam Fairbairn * was born 1790 Yetholm?, Scotland. 
MarriageHe married Jean (Jane) Wanless 25 Dec 1813 Yetholm, Roxburghshire, Scotland. 
DeathWilliam Fairbairn * died 6 Feb 1872 Wakefield, Quebec, Canada. 
Note(Parent Assumed) William? Fairbairn is the assumed parent of William Fairbairn *
Reby Dodd's Whos Which assigns a William and Aylsie (Elliot) Fairbairn as parents of both the William who married Jean Wanless, and the David who married Jane Williamson.
The identification of William and 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. 
Researcher(Progenitor) William's line is being researched by Roy Fairbairn (F-3).
