Researching the Family of Frederick William
John FAIRBROTHER. Born 1859, deceased 02/04/1919 in Cumberland.I have
only found Frederick when he was married, first marriage to Mary Jane
COUPLAND 08/05/1881 in Workington, Cumberland. Two sons and two daughters from this marriage, Frederick William c.1885, John Coupland 1887, Annie
Elizabeth c.1882 and another daughter name unknown. Second marriage to
Margaret Jane Graham 21/03/1896. In 1901 census children from his first
marriage are no longer living with Frederick and his second wife
Margaret.
Children born to Frederick and Margaret, Emma Victoria 18/06/1897, Robert Horatio born June qtr 1900.
On both marriage certificates it has Frederick's Fathers name as John Fairbrother occupation is coachman.
Supposedly John was head coachman for the Lord of Bucchleuch. And at one time the Fairbrother Family lived in Rutland Gate, Knightsbridge. Frederick never spoke of his Parents or siblings, and I can't find a birth for Frederick. In the 1901 census he has his birthplace as Todenham, Gloucester. Any help greatly appreciated.
