The 1901 census also says that her place of birth was Cockburnspath. The earlier censuses (which contradict the 1901 census) are probably more reliable.

Tara Hawkins, http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/7114/, It is unlikely that this means her maiden name was Fairbairn. It's probably simply been some sort of note by Tara Hawkins to remind her of Alice's married surname.
