Hull and Sutton M.I.s

[Belen]

Hi,

I have been searching for information on Captain Robert FAIRBURN (sometimes FAIRBAIRN or FAIRBOURN) without much luck.

I wondered if anyone has the MIs for Hull or Sutton and could tell me when or where he was buried. I know that his last child was born in 1819 in Hull and that in a marriage announcement in the Hull Packeton of another daughter at the end of December 1835, he was described as the late Robert Fairburn.

He was possibly the Robert Fairbairn baptised in Hull Unitarian church in 1780.

I would be grateful for any help as I cannot find out anything about him.

Hi Belen
Have you searched for a death at sea??? or elsewhere in UK, being a seafarer he could have died anywhere, not just in his own locality.

If you contact the Cemeteries Dept at Hull, they will have a look for burials for you, the staff have been very good
with me looking up details.

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for the replies. I haven't looked at burials at sea because his widow, in the 1851 census, described herself as the "widow of a retired mariner", which suggested he died on land.
I will definitely try contacting the Cemeteries department.
Thank you and best wishes,
Belen

Hi Belen
So if he was retired before death then hopefully the cemeteries dept will be able to find his burial for you.
Good luck

Hi Belen
Sent you some info via Mariners...are you the person that has posted on there and that I have replied to??? If you
are I will post on here as it is going off topic on Mariners..
Found the 1861 census for Daniel Fairburn, if you require details let me know.

Hi Wendy,

Yes, you sent me the apprenticeship record referring to Daniel Fairburn -  I thought it was probably you.
I haven't received what else you sent to Mariners as I receive it in digest and so it will arrive in the morning.

I have started to look at Daniel and it seems he was from Sutton. Robert Fairburn's wife was also from there, but I hadn't really thought that he (Robert) was also. I'll have to do a bit more digging over the weekend.
I have seen him in the 1861 and the mate was also a Fairburn.

Thanks for your help.

2 listings for Fairburn

another tip, go to modify on your Rootschat post and add in Robert Fairburn that way folk will see the name too. posted a message for you too so thread is now back at top

OSWY
Rigging: Brig
Master: Captain Fairburn
Tonnage: 124 tons
Construction: 1819 in Whitby; new top side and thorough repairs in 1834
Owners: Wilson & Co.
Port of registry: Hull
Port of survey: Hull
Voyage: sailed for Gothenburg

If this was your Captain with the Wilson line of shipping of Hull, this later became Ellermen Wilson Line, of which a huge amount of info is held for both at Hull History Centre. This includes vessels etc.. Let me know if you need details for this place.

the following Fairburn folk are also on 1861 England & Wales census...all born Hull, Yorkshire
Sarah, John, Hannah, Ann, John & Harris Fairburn....sadly no Robert showing.

this concludes all the messages I sent via Mariners..

Let me know if I can be off any more help.

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for sending me all that information. Funny, but when the digest arrived this morning, there wasn't anything from you.

I think that I have to accept that the captain of the Oswy was Daniel Fairburn as a lot of sailings took place after I think Robert died.

The Lloyds' register of captains doesn't show him at all! So that's disappointing.

Adi, on the list found a Captain Robert Fairburn in London in 1835, but I have no idea if he was ever in that part of the world.

It's interesting that Daniel named his only son, John, when his father was also a Daniel, and his wife's father was Ralf. I believe Robert Fairburn had a brother and also their father was named John.

Thanks for your help.
