Albert Fairfax, 12th Lord Fairfax of Cameron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Kirby Fairfax, 12th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (June 23, 1870 - October 4, 1939) was the twelfth person to be Lord Fairfax of Cameron. Born in Northampton, Maryland, Fairfax was discovered to be the rightful holder of his title after it had been essentially forgotten by his family (which had resided in the United States of America for several generations, where no titles of nobility are recognized).
After researchers determined Albert Kirby Fairfax to be the 12th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, his title was allowed by the House of Lords in 1908. His father, John Contee Fairfax, was determined to have been the 11th Lord Fairfax of Cameron; his mother was Mary Brown Kirby.
He was elected a Scottish representative peer, and served in that capacity from 19 October, 1917 to his death on 4 October 1939.
He had two sons and his title passed to the eldest,Thomas Brian McKelvie Fairfax, 13th Lord Fairfax of Cameron.
