1. | Robert Fairbanks was born on 3 Sep 1867 in Coolaney, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom; was christened on 20 Sep 1867 in Coolaney, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom (son of Richard Fairbanks and Euphemia Thomson); died on 18 Dec 1931 in Melrose, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States; was buried after 18 Dec 1931 in Edson Cemetery, Lowell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [Fairbanks-1978] has Robert Fairbanks’ birthplace as Coventry, England in 1869. [US-INS-1898a] has Robert’s birth in Warwickshire, England on 3 Sep 1867. However both of these conflict with [Sligo-1867]. In this database we use “3 Sep” on the presumption that Robert knew his own birth date and that 20 Sep 1867 (from the Irish civil registration records) is probably Robert’s christening date--actual birth dates being recorded only very rarely in England and Ireland at the time. For the birth location, we use Coolaney, County Sligo, Province of Connaught, Ireland--First, because it is the only actual birth record found for Robert that is consistent with his father’s occupation, his mother’s maiden name, and the birth locations of most of his siblings. Second, Englishmen born abroad frequently lied about the location in order to avoid discrimination. It should be noted that both Coventry and Warwickshire are consistent with where Richard and Euphemia (Thomson) Fairbanks where living when their eldest son John Edward was born in 1862. Robert married Hannah Elizabeth Lowe on 2 Feb 1893 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States. Hannah (daughter of Samuel Lowe and Maria Chadwick) was born on 9 Apr 1869 in _______, _______, England, United Kingdom; died on 25 Nov 1943 in Melrose, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States; was buried after 25 Nov 1943 in Edson Cemetery, Lowell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] Notes: [NEHGS-1893a] does not actually state that Robert Fairbanks and Hannah Elizabeth Lowe were married in Boston. But since they were both living in Boston at the time, the marriage was registered in Boston, and the officiating pastor was from Boston, they’re having been married in Boston seems very likely.Children:

2. | Richard Fairbanks was born about 1837 in (unknown) (son of Edward Fairbanks and Eliza Mann); died on 29 Dec 1885 in Templehouse, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [Fairbanks-1978] states that Richard Fairbanks was the ‘Chief Steward of the Temple family of Coventry’. This is probably a reference to Henry Lord Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston who was known to have estates in Scotland and Ireland, including Cassiebawn Castle and estate in northwestern County Sligo. However, most of Richard Fairbanks’ children were born in the area of Temple House Estate, the ancestral home of the Perceval family near Ballymote. In fact, two daughters, Beatrice and Margaret, are actually listed as being born at ‘Temple House’. Given these facts, it is more likely that Richard Fairbanks worked for the Perceval family in some capacity rather than for Lord Palmerston. Richard married Euphemia Thomson on 19 Nov 1860 in Kingsbarns, Kingsbarns Parish, County Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom. Euphemia (daughter of John Thomson and Margaret Kay) was born on 15 Nov 1840 in Kingsbarns, Kingsbarns Parish, County Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom; died about Sep 1908 in _______, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom.

3. | Euphemia Thomson was born on 15 Nov 1840 in Kingsbarns, Kingsbarns Parish, County Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom (daughter of John Thomson and Margaret Kay); died about Sep 1908 in _______, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: According to [Fairbanks-1949], Euphemia died at the age of 58 attended by two of her children (a son and a daughter) who then emigrated to Australia after their mother’s death--the other children having emigrated previously. However this is contradicted by [UK-GRO-1908a] and [LaAC-1913a]. The children that were living with Euphemia at the time of her death were probably Thomas and Martha, both of whom emigrated to Canada along with their sister Beatrice in 1913. Notes: Richard Fairbanks and Euphemia Thomson were married at the “Manse of Kingsbarns”--in other words, at the minister’s home or residence.
