Father Robert Fairbairn(s) I'm looking for some help in connecting the daughter Mary, to the father Robert Fairbairns. I cannot find Mary in the 1851 census. Mary Fairbairns, age 25, Spinster, no profession listed, residence at the time of marriage was Wapping. Mary Fairbairns married John Ashcroft Leslie (son of John William Leslie) on March 29th, 1856. Her father is noted as Robert Fairbairns, Agent. The witnesses at the wedding were a Robert Fairbairns, Isa (Isabella?) Fairbairns and an E. Fairbairns. The couple were married in the Parish Church in Stepney, Middlesex by Licence. Thanks for any help you can give.
