Hi, I wondered if anyone fancied helping me with a little mystery?
In the 1851 Census for my 3x Great Grandparents John & Susannah Phillips there is a 6 year old Elizabeth Farison, the name has been corrected to Fairburn which was Susannah's maiden name, well a variation of it anyway.
Using the name Elizabeth Fairburn & the soundex option in FreeReg I did get a hit with a Baptism in Great Stainton, 1844 as the daughter of Ann Fairburn but this person isn't in my tree yet and I've not been able to find anything further.
Does anyone fancy a little quest to help narrow down who Ann may be to find out what Elizabeth's connection may be?
Susannah herself was born in 1817, Bishopton to Thomas Fairburns/Fairbairns/Fairbairnes & Phyllis Luke and Thomas did have another wife named Sarah Whitfield who might have died in childbirth in 1811.
Thank you.
