Question 1

I assume that Fairbairn's studio at Portobello would have been operated by William, possibly being open only during the summer months.

Were H, Henry and James Fairbairn related to photographer William?

Question 2

There was a William Fairbairn at 10 Marchmont Crescent.  The trade directories do not include him as a photographer, but show him to be: Optical Limelight Lanternist from 1901 until 1914.

Was William, Limelight Lanternist, related to photographer, William?
