[edit] Scottish ancestry?

Were the Lords Fairfax really from Scotland? I read that their surname is both English and Caledonian, and apparently all of their usual property in the British Isles was in Yorkshire.--Anglius 03:35, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

They are, as the article says, from Yorkshire. Holding a Scotch peerage is another matter. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
