Strange that both are writer's to the signet.

As I said, why not have a go on the Scotlands people site.

hi gadget,

It costs too much for me to buy credits to view on scotlands people.  the rand pound rate is so bad. i did no a search for henry aitken between 1855 and 1861, but it came up anyway as not found.

In 1861, Isabella is living as head of household with son Thomas and daughter Margaret.  Perhaps Henry got remarried??? to russell?

Regards

Sorry Jackie but it costs for us to. I've used some of my credits looking for your family already. You've now decided that the previous family aren't the ones that you wanted so I'm not using anymore. Sorry.

Good Luck.

Henry was deceased by the time Thomas married in 1862.

Because it says so on the marriage certificate

Also, I've just checked the 1861 image of Thomas and mother, Isabella, in Glasgow.

Isabella is listed as a widow so Henry was dead by then.

Have you got them on the 1851?

In 1851:

29 Gallogate St, Glassgow
644/1 ED 291/1 page 9

Isabella Aitken, 35, widow, Tavern keeper, b. Berwick on Tweed
Thomas, 11, scholar, b. Falkirk
Margt, 7, scholar, b. Falkirk
Thomas Gently(?), lodger, 27, saddler - journeyman, b. Falkirk

So Henry had been dead before official registration.

There's something very strange about the 1841 entry for Thomas Aitken, b. 1838 Falkirk - residing Dorator House, Falkirk:

I'm going to have to get the image up but it looks like his father was Thomas
