I was browsing the Scotlands People feature on Famous Scots and noticed it had the will of Sir William Fairbairn.
Wrong.
Yes it was the will of a William Fairbairn who died about the same time (1873), but that of the Edinburgh surveyor, married to Agnes Hamilton DODDS, and brother of the Free Church Minister of Allanton, and most definitely not that of Sir William, engineer, born Kelso 1789, living in Surrey at the time he died in 1874.
Check out the Fairbairn DNA project for the outline pedigrees of the people mentioned.
