BMDB data
Archibald Fairbairn was estimated to have been born say 1760 probably in the ?Par. of Swinton & Simprim, BEW, SCT.1Archibald Fairbairn and Alison Crosser, daughter of Male ?James Croser, are estimated to have married say 1782 prob. in ?ROX or ?BEW, SCT, (this date being assumed from the age of eldest child believed to belong to this family).1
Archibald Fairbairn died bet 1800 - 1841 prob. in Cavers?, Par. of Eckford, ROX, SCT; (unsurprisingly, he was shown as deceased (an agricultural labourer) when his son Walter died, and isn't immediately obvious in the 1841 census).1,3
Census/Where lived/Occupations
Cir. 1784 Archibald and Alison Fairbairn were living Swinton, BEW, SCT, assuming that son Walter accurately knew where he was born.Fr 1794 - 1797 Archibald and Alison Fairbairn were living Grahamslaw, Par. of Eckford, ROX, SCT, (where they were when two more children were baptised).9,10 By Feb 1800 Archibald and Alison Fairbairn were living Cavers, Par. of Eckford, ROX, SCT, when youngest known son David was baptized (the entry doesn't read Caverton, or Caverton Mill, but I thought Cavers was in its own parish, not Eckford).3
All the other info
Archibald Fairbairn and James Fairbairn Yetholm & Morebattle, ROX, SCT, in 1778 were possibly related, as they are contemporaries by age and place, Archibald and Alison Crosser recorded as having children baptised in Morebattle, and James marrying a Mgt Croser in Yetholm, but the entry recording he was of Morebattle and sometime of this parish (Yetholm).11 Archibald doesn't appear on the 1797/8 Farm Horse Tax Rolls for Eckford (David McDOUGAL of Cavertonmiln does with 20 actual horses, 14 of which were liable).1213,14,15,16Archibald Fairbairn and Walter Fairbairn Swinton, BEW, SCT, cir. 1785 were possibly related as both Archibald and Walter had sons named Walter born Swinton, within 3 years of each other. Perhaps they are brothers?17

E. & O. E. Some/most parish records are rather hard to read and names, places hard to interpret, particularly if you are unfamiliar with an area. Corrections welcome
