  • Members of the Fairfax Family were prominent as Australian media proprietors, especially in the area of newspaper publishing through the company John Fairfax and Sons (later known as Fairfax Media, although the Fairfax family no longer control the eponymous company). Some members have also been prominent in Australian philanthropy and the arts. Six generations of the family are descended from Anglo-Celtic immigrants to Australia, patriarch John Fairfax, an English-born journalist, and his wife, Sarah (née Reading). Both were from the Barford area of Warwickshire, and emigrated to the Colony of New South Wales in 1838. (en)
