Grace AITKEN, nee Tennant, Edinburgh
« on: Friday 24 April 09 18:24 BST (UK) »

 :)

Hi

Would welcome please lookup help, for full dates of birth, places of birth, marriage dates and places, death dates, causes and places, and anything else of interest, for my family, listed below.

To summarise, some of what I know so far, Grace Tennant, b. Edinburgh, 1831, d. 16/10/1910,  married John Aitken, b. 1826-7?, a sawyer of Kirkurd, d.1913, Newington?

Who were Grace's parents please?    ???  Who were John's parents please?

John Aitken had been married before, but I have no details of his first wife, or where and when wed?    ;)

I have details of his first two sons, William Aitken, b. 1853 and Archibald, b.1855, possibly at Penicuik, or Bridgehouse Mile, West Lothian?  Would welcome more details on them?

In a later post I can go into details of John and Grace Aitken's children.

Cheers

Danchaslyn

Hi mamakaz

Thank you, and as usual, you have come up with great info.   ;D  you are SO good at this, and an absolute credit to RootsChat!!  .................do I assume that Grace Tennant, at 29, was still not married?  And as she lived in a Manse, could her parents have been ministers?    ::)

Cheers

Hi Mamakaz

Well, as she became John Aitken's second wife, she probably married later in life, than most.  Any news on his first wife?  Mother of his first two sons, William and Archibald please?   ???

The Manse, will be another place to look at, on the looksee trip!   ;D

Cheers
