Thread: Tracking one down

This might prove useful to others. I was trying to find a Fairbairns (which has quite a few other spellings) on the 1841 but without luck. Looking again at my notes to see if there was anything else that I did know, I saw that one of his daughters had married a Pygott, far more unusual name. Bingo! Found him straight away and the chap I was looking for was with him but spelled Fairbanes.

A good tip Cassie,

I have got into the habit of searching for the one with the most unusual name.

Hi Cassie,

Don't forget to add your findings to the mistranscription thread's for 1841.

Thanks Nanna, didn't notice there was a place for doing that so done it now.

Hi Cassie,

Can you go back onto mistranscriptions and put the Piece/Folio/Page No.

Thanx

Nanna
