We knew of two Fairholm family members who were born in Scotland, are part of the Main Scottish branch and are now living in Australia. We have also been in contact with Ailsa Corlett and Bill Ferme, both living in Australia. They have both shared with us a lot of information linking Fairholm and Ferme family members in Australia and Scotland. There are over 300 Fermes in South Australia.

Some geographical connections?

A settlement called Fairholme is located close to the centre of New South Wales, near to Forbes. We are not aware of any family connection yet. There are several homesteads and outstations called Fairholme as well. At Toowoomba, Queensland there is the Fairholme College, a girls school founded in 1917 by the Presbyterian Church. The name is taken from the name of the property originally bought to house the school
