  • Name William Fairbairn  [1
    Born Abt 1760  ?Roxburghshire, Scotland Find all individuals with events at this location  [2, 3
    • (Sanna's info was 1762, Roy had 1755)
    Gender Male 
    Occupation Roy believed this chap to be a schoolmaster, and the link to the extended family of Sir William.
    For which I believe Reby Dodd's "Who's Which" may be responsible.
    It is an unlikely id, particularly now that we believe that Sir William's line is a different DNA haplogroup entirely.
    See DNASurnames for the schoolmaster and DNA info.
      [4, 5
    Reference Number 32801 
    Died 1809  [2, 6
    • NB this date may be meant to be the death of the Schoolmaster William rather than this William as he died 1810 and is buried in Selkirk (confirmed), and several pedigrees confuse this William with the schoolmaster and show the schoolmaster William as dying in 1809
