     Mary Fairbairn was born cir. Jan 1830 at Ladykirk, BEW, SCT, which year is derived from her baptism and the month from the Jan 1828 date given in the 1900 census. The year 1830 fits census data from 1850, 1860 and 1870, but after that Mary's age varies rather more from her baptism date.2 She was baptized on 21 Feb 1830 in the Par. of Ladykirk, BEW, SCT.2 Some sources show Mary as born on 27 Jan 1828 in SCT (presumed to be from family info, but seems a bit too far from her baptism).3 Yet other sources show Mary as born cir. 1831 at Cambden St Marys, Perth Cty, ONT, CAN, but this must be a family guess given her baptism in Scotland the previous year.1
