     William Fairbairn was assumed to have died on 6 Apr 1850 29 Clark St, Dist of Stepney, MDX, ENG, only one in right place/timeframe, confirmed by Justin's family info: "We know that the “Durham” made at least one voyage to Canada during 1849 and it must have been after his return from Canada early in 1850 that William came ashore and was probably staying with his friends, the Eagers, at 29 Clark St, Stepney. It was there on 6th April 1850 that he died from “Bronchitis: 6 days.” (Death Certificate, William Fairbairn). He was just 24 years old, leaving a widow and a six-month-old son.

It doesn’t look as if Elizabeth was there at the time, as Sarah Eager is shown as present at the death and the informant to the Registrar. Poor William!7,8 "
