  Family	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)
  Marriage	23 May 1882	Easky, County Sligo, Province of Connacht, Ireland, United Kingdom   [4]
  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

  Elizabeth (Lush) Fairbanks, her husband John Edward Fairbanks, and two daughters, Eliza and Mary J, departed from London, England on their way to Australia in 1888. [QSA-1888a] also notes that their origin was Warwick. [3] Elizabeth Lush’s parents were James Lush and Margaret Cook. [6] [QDoJaAG-1891b], the birth entry for Elizabeth (Lush) Fairbanks’ daughter Myra, lists four living children: Euphemia (age 7), Ethel (age 6), Lillian (age 4), and James Richard (age 2). With the exception of Ethel, for whom no birth record has yet been found, these correspond roughly to the children that were known to have been alive in 1891. The record also states that there were no deceased children of John Edward and Elizabeth (Lush) Fairbanks. Consequently, Euphemia must be the eldest child who emigrated from the United Kingdom under the name “Eliza”, and Lillian is probably the second or third eldest who emigrated under the name “Mary J”. Being so close in age to Euphemia, Ethel remains unresolved. [8]
