Gedling was a village to the east of Nottingham. The parish of Gedling included Carlton which expanded rapidly and became a suburb of Nottingham. This branch is headed by Joseph and Elizabeth Fairholm. Joseph was the third son of Jarvis or Gervas Fairholm and a grandson of William and Ann Fairholm who lived at Shelford. Elizabeth's maiden name was Waterhouse. Joseph and Elizabeth had two sons and one daughter. Joseph was an agricultural labourer. Their eldest son, John, married Ann Stancer and they had nine children - several of whom had some connection with Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Joseph and Elizabeth's younger son, William, married Elizabeth Allen (nee Sissons) and their daughter, Jane, married Thomas Barker. We have identified present day descendants for this branch in Derbyshire and Scotland. The early spelling of the surname was a mix of Fairholm, Fairholme and Fearholme. Joseph's younger brother, John, heads the Basford branch.

So far we have 82 entries on this tree.
