Please can someone confirm that Walter FAIRBAIRN, indexed in IGI as having been born in Dunbar, East Lothian on 8 Apr 1864 to Peter FAIRBAIRN & Elizabeth RUNCIMAN is the same individual as Walter Runciman FAIRBAIRN, noted in 1937 as having been coxswain of the Dunbar lifeboat? Any further information about Walter and his descendants would be much appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Steven Gibbs, Guernsey.

Surnames: Fairbairn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QdV.2ACIB/97 Message Board Post: Does anyone have any info on this gentleman? I have 3 book sources which say that he was the son of James Fairbairn and grandson of James Fairbairn who was a survivor in the 1881 great storm. Only problem is that I have been in contact with the widow of one of the children of James Jr. and when she sent me a list of the children there is no Alfred. Also, James Jr's obituary (d. 1953 in Cove, Co'path) doesn't mention Alfred or even a son alive in Scotland, just 2 sons in Canada and 1 daughter in Australia. Does anyone know if there was maybe another James Fairbairn who survived the storm and who was from Cockburnspath? Please help as this is thoroughly frustrating me!!!

You can check out the site at http://www.geocities.com/tljhfamily/Fairbairn.html If you have any Fairbairn info you want to add or if you have a site with Fairbairn info that I can link to please let me know. I hope to have most of the info online in the next week or so before I head off on vacation for two weeks.
Hello. I'm new to the list, and wondered whether anyone has any Fairbairn connections to Portobello, Edinburgh ? At present, my research centres on the following : Mary McMurray married Peter Fairbairn (probably in Portobello). Sons / daughters : Margaret (born 1874, Portobello), Peter (born 1879, Portobello), John (born 1880, Portobello). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
