ID: Image C1901_731_00_001_000_2_013Z.tif Age quoted as at 31/3/1901 was 45, which would make her year of birth 1856. The 1901 census also says that her place of birth was Cockburnspath. The earlier censuses (which contradict the 1901 census) are probably more reliable.

18 Tara Hawkins, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/7114/. Cit. Date: 11 Jan 2002 It is unlikely that this means her maiden name was Fairbairn. It's probably simply been some sort of note by Tara Hawkins to remind her of Alice's married surname.
