Ok, so Grace Tennant, grows up in this 'place' with so many other people, if it is a workhouse, wonder if it still stands, and what its exact location is?

Can I astound you, and tell you that of her and John Aitken's four children, the eldest, John, b. 13/5/1861, I know nothing about (YET!!), and Elizabeth, his sister,

??, but Thomas, became Rev Thomas Aitken, Baptist Prison Chaplain on the Island of St Helena, then Gen Secretary or whatever they call it, of the Baptist Church, South Africa, and, wait for it....
Robert, her son, b. 11/5/1863, banker's clerk, at 16 yrs, Scotland, (which bank please??), then Banker in India, glittering career, the extreme highlife, became Governor of Imperial Bank of India, etc etc, was knighted, so she was the mother of Sir Robert Aitken!!

Check out my topics in Scotland, Peebles-Shire, and St Ives, Huntingdonshire, England, St, Ives, Cornwall, England, and Beginners etc etc, if you have a chance.

Thanks for 'stews', we learn something every day.......
