AITKEN family, River View, St Ives, Huntingdonshire

[Ginaar]

Hello, I read this with interest as my Grandfather, George Kiddle, was one of Norah's brother. River View was a mill prior to being converted to the family home in the early 20th century. I have photos of it as my family lived there in the late 1970's. My mother, Elizabeth is one of George's 4 daughters and my parents and brother and I lived in River View. River view was sold to developers in the 1980's and 4 new houses were built there. Norah's two children with John Aitken were Robert ( known as Bob) and Jeanne. I hope this helps with your research. If you require further info please let me know.

Hello,

I work at Floods Tavern Pub in st ives Cambridgeshire. We are looking into the history of the building and what shops its used to be before the pub and any other history we can find.

Today i was told by the Huntingdonshire archives that in 1974 the building was occupied by Aitken Limited, Electrics.

I have found that chat and wondered if any of you knew if this is a connection to the Atkin family you have been looking into.

If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Carl
