Hi Betty:
The linen industry in 18th & 19th century Ireland was centered in Ulster Province (Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone). It included growing, combing, weaving, and marketing. It was a highly competitive and became mechanized and commoditized by the early 19th century. This drove prices lower and gradually impoverished the cottage weaving industry.
The Fairley surname genealogy presence in Ireland is 1,160 B rcds dating from 1780 and 714 M rcds dating from 1747. The paucity of rcds suggests the name is either Scotch or English, probably the former. The numbers are abt right assuming an initial introduction of the name into Ireland between 1550 and 1650.
From your post, William and James must have been born in the 1790s, John around 1810. Rcd keeping in this era was poor to non-existant. The chance that rcds for William or James or John are in this database is around 10% at most, but here is a summary:
John - 1801, 1817
William - No rcds
James - No rcds
If you have better info, post it to this msg.
