Roxburghshire / Re: AITCHISON family
« on: Sunday 21 November 10 17:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello from Switzerland...
I am trying to find some ancestor history for a William Aitchison, born in Edinburgh in either 1832 or 1833.
At the age of 16 he immigrated to Dunedin, New Zealand aboard the ship Mooltan in 1849. He was listed as either a Groom or a grocer. He paid his way.
He married Elizabeth Smith in the Dunedin Area in 1855.
He settled in Kaitangata and had 5 sons and 2 daughters:
Robert Aitchison
William Alfred Aitchison
George Aitchison
John Aitchison
Stephan Aitchison
Isabella Aitchison
Mary Aitchison
Any information (or correction!) are welcome about William. I have found nothing online to indicate the following:
1. His date of birth / baptism or location
2. Parents names and which Aitchison family they belong to
3. Other Aitchison siblings from this family who remained in Scotland.
Many thanks
