Hi,

My apologies, I should have been clearer

The Frederick, Sophia and family in 1891 that I mentioned were Charles/Edward's possible parents and siblings, Frederick William FAIRBRASS and Sophia nee CANNON + children.

I thought that Telford Vernon/Frederick Vernon might have been baptised with a thought of his Grandfather's home.

Hi Daisy,
No apologies needed and thank you so much for your help, every little piece of the jigsaw helps to complete the picture xx

Thank you for the information. We are puzzled why the 1891 census states Frederick, Sophia and some of the children are living in Telford Terrace Herne Bay, Kent, whereas Frederick Vernon's death certificate says he was born in Durban SA on 21st October 1889, and lived in SA all his life until his death in White River SA on 1st November 1970.

Hello, we are researching the Fairbrass family line and trying to make a connection from my mother, Audry Hull (Nee Fairbrass) born 6 December 1930 in Johanersburg who was daughter of Frederick Vernon Fairbrass born in Durban South Africa 21 October 1889, who died in White River in 1970.

We believe Vernons' father was born in the UK and emigrated to South Africa. We would really appreciate and records or documents that could provide the connection to out Great Grandfather. Our cousin James Faibrass who had some documents has since died.

It may be possible it is Charles Edward Fairbrass born in Canterbury 1859/60 but cannot prove this.

Thanks in advance for any info, Lulu/Pete
