Derby branch
This branch is headed by John and Elizabeth Fairholm. They married in 1831 at Radford, Nottinghamshire, but had moved to Derby by 1840. Elizabeth's maiden name was Carrington. They had three children. Their only son, William, married four times and had six children. Of his sons, William (jnr) remained in Derby and Ernest moved to Rugby. His third son, Joseph, had a career in the army, serving in India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and eventually emigrated to Canada. The descendants of Joseph are the most numerous in this branch - partly as a result of his seventeen children. William (jnr) is the great grandfather of Peter H. Fairholm and the great great grandfather of Roger H. Fairholm and Alison J. Fairholm. We have other present day descendants for William (jnr), Ernest and Joseph.They are scattered across England and Canada and are also in Scotland.
John was a stockinger when he arrived at Derby and later a silk glover and a labourer. When he died in an accident in 1875 he was a ganger on the Midland Railway. William worked in the metal industries and his job descriptions include metalsmith, plate metal worker and iron fitter.So far, we have 504 people on this tree.
