  • 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. [9, 12, 13]
    • There are many individuals named “Euphemia Thomson” in the 1861 Scotland Census. However the individual listed in [Scotland-1861a] is named “Euphima Fairbanks”. Since this census was taken only 6 months after the marriage of Richard Fairbanks and Euphemia Thomson, it is plausible that she was enumerated with her family. Consequently, the connection to the family of John and Margaret Thomson is well supported. [3]
    • [Fairbanks-1949] and [Fairbanks-1978] both have the name “Euphemia Thompson”, and this name is listed with the birth information for most of the children of Richard Fairbanks and Euphemia (Thomson) Fairbanks. However, “Thomson” is spelling used by Euphemia’s family. [2, 3, 12]
    • A niece, “Ethel Fairbanks”, is living in Euphemia (Thomson) Fairbanks’ household in 1901. It is likely, but not yet proven, that this child is the daughter of one Richard Fairbanks’ siblings. [8]
