I am researching the Fairbrother family for an elderly uncle and would appreciate any help that is out there. I have reached a bit of a dead end. Albert was born in Holborn London. His mother's maiden name was Henry and I believe that she and his father came from Manchester but I can't find when or where they married.I would also like to go further back and identify Albert's grandparents and even his great grandparents if possible. As I said I would appreciate any help available. Many thanks.
