Descendant chart updates

A couple of descendant charts have been updated to include new twigs/research, primarily those of
The latter has been greatly helped by recent updates to FindAGrave by "Charlie", who kindly supplied this link of the FAIRBAIRN(S) headstones that had been uploaded.
Anyone know what happened to Ephraim (born abt 1835 to George FAIRBAIRNS & Hannah LIGHTFOOT, last sighting 1881 census).

Houghton le Spring

Most of the One Name Study recent changes index around today relate to the FAIRBAIRNS of Houghton le Spring.
It had been suggested that the 1879 London death of a Robert FAIRBAIRNS might be the long searched for death of Robert FAIRBAIRN, Civil Engineer, married to Elizabeth YOUNG.
This does not appear to be the case, so we are still looking for the fate of the latter beyond 1854 (along with that of sons John and James beyond about 1861).

FAIRBAIRNS, Knottingley

As the Recently Changed index shows, a page, and lineage, for shoemaker William FAIRBAIRNS of Knottingley, Yorkshire (but born elsewhere in England) has been added to the One Name Study pages.
Relationships inferred in the 1906 Manitoba census, as discussed here on the RootsWeb Fairbairn message board, are a bit confusing. So if anyone can shed any light on this we'd love to hear from you.
Over time the family appear under a wide range of variant FAIRBAIRN surnames.
