This branch is headed by Benjamin and Jane Fairholm. They married in 1832. Benjamin was the eldest son of Joseph and Ann Fairholm who lived at Nottingham and a grandson of William and Ann Fairholm who lived at Shelford. Jane's maiden name was Leeson. She seems to have been Benjamin's second wife. His first wife seems to have been Elizabeth Kent. She died in 1822, the same year they married, possibly in childbirth. Benjamin and Jane had seven children. They were all born at Radford, as were fifteen of their twenty-two grand children. Their surviving sons were Joseph, who married Emma Culley in 1866, and Reuben, who married Eliza Julia Read in 1865. Some relatives also lived at Sneinton. Descendants of Joseph have provided us with a lot of information, but we have only identified a few descendants for Reuben. Benjamin was a framework knitter. The most recent information we have is that the descendants of Joseph and Elizabeth are living in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, the West Midlands and Wales.

So far we have 140 people on this tree.
