Biography
Name
- Name: Elizabeth /Fairbairn/
Birth
- Date abt 1849
- Place: Lower Canada (Quebec)
- Notes - an inventive lady about her age. She appears with her parents as aged 5 in the 1851/2 census.
- 1861 shows her as 12 and 13 (two versions exist, one with father, t'other with parents)
- 1871 still consistent, 22, with parents
- 1881 is where the deception starts showing :) "aged 27" in hsehold of widowed father
- 1882 marriage she's still "27"
- 1911 census with husband 55 instead of 62
- 1918 Death "aged 68", so her past caught up with her again.Henderson-2297 22:30, 14 April 2015 (EDT)

Definitely two Elizabeths both related. This exercise solved a mystery for me. Elizabeth's 1882 marriage to Thomas WIGGINS is indexed in the Ontario marriages as HIGGINS, and I never could find her after 1882 in census data as a result. Looking at the image again it still looks like HIGGINS when comparing other Hs on the page! Also doesn't help that her 1918 death in Ottawa has her with the wrong father - given as John FAIRBAIRN instead of Archibald. Suggest I add another Elizabeth to George and Eleanor and we shift William JOHNSTON to that spouse, removing the one married to WIGGINS from George and Eleanor and she can then be added to Archibald and Eliza O'Hara instead
Which leads me to believe there are two Elizabeths here, from different families If you need help untangling, just ask. Lorna http://Fairbairn.LornaHen.com
