He was the son of a John Fairbairn and a Mary Robertson (?). Ralph died in Coldstream in 1874 and the above information came from his death certificate. Because of Coldstream's location I guess that "in England" probably means Northumberland. IGI doesn't carry details of his birth or of his parents' marriage. Does anybody recognise any of these people? Happy Christmas! David Richardson.
