Notes
One of two Samuel Fairweathers who were cousins, each married to an Elizabeth with children baptised in Framlingham around the same time.
This Samuel's children with Elizabeth Copping were mostly represented by Unitarian or Presbyterian baptisms, so are distinct from the other couple's children. These non-conformist baptisms covered the following children:
- Mary Fairweather (1803) [4]
- Fanny Fairweather (1810) [9]
- Emma Fairweather (1813) [5]
- George Fairweather (1815) [10]
- Eliza Fairweather (1818) [11]
The baptisms of John (1805) and William (1808) are recorded in the regular Framlingham parish records. The Suffolk Family History Society have transcribed these, and both records specify mother's maiden name of Copping.
The children of the other Samuel with Elizabeth Sawyer are likewise identified by the transcriptions.

This one shows *two* baptisms in Framlingham for Samuel as son of John & Elizabeth Fairweather, dated 4th April 1762 and 3rd June 1764, with one for Ephanuel (daughter) in between them on 23rd May 1763. Other dates shown for other children seem to be corroborated, but I will be checking through these. With no apparent burial for an older sibling Samuel, (and the projected DOB of c1762 from the later records) it would appear most likely that they are for the same Samuel, baptised twice.
Most of the later Framlingham baptism records here helpfully give the mother's maiden name which should help verify that we have the children correctly. Again, I intend to go through them all and make sure.
Unfortunately, copyright limitations do not allow me to share the spreadsheets directly, but I have been referencing it on Wikitree as follows on the relevant profiles sources list:
...and adding a note in the biog usually along the lines of "His baptism record is not at the time of writing known to be available to view online. The original record survives and the details have been transcribed and indexed by the Suffolk Family History Society."
I think we can now mark Samuel's parents as confident.

I will be adding more Fairweathers soon!
