  Father	John Edward Fairbanks,   b. Bef 31 Aug 1862, Kenilworth, Parish of Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, England, United Kingdom d. 28 Apr 1938, Toowoomba, Darling Downs Region, Queensland, Australia (Age > 75 years)
  Mother	Elizabeth Lush,   b. Abt 1863, Easky, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom d. 19 Mar 1954, Gatton, Lockyer Valley Region, Queensland, Australia (Age 91 years)
  Marriage	23 May 1882	Easky, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom   [7]
  Notes	Dates for the marriage of John Edward Fairbanks to Elizabeth Lush vary greatly across the Australian birth entires of their children. Sources [QDoJaAG-1891a] and [QDoJaAG-1891b] have the date 23 May 1882; [QDoJaAG-1892a] has 22 May 1882; [QDoJaAG-1894a] has 23 May 1883; [QDoJaAG-1900a] and [QDoJaAG-1902a] have 22 May 1884. On the assumption that John and Elizabeth’s memories would have been more accurate earlier in their marriage, and because it appears as frequently as any other date, this database uses “23 May 1882”, but a Irish marriage record should be sought.

• Notes

  In source [QSA-1888a], the eldest daughter John Edward and Elizabeth (Lush) Fairbanks, is listed as “Eliza”. However every other available record from the birth records of all her Australian born siblings to the death records of both her parents record this woman’s name as “Euphemia”—which appears to the name she used throughout her life. [2, 5, 11, 12] Source [QDoJaAG-1971a] indicates that Euphemia Fairbanks was single at the time of her death, but it does not say if she had ever been married. [2]
