Hi Mamakaz

Are you Sherlock Holmes, or what?!!  thank you and well done   ;D   ;D

Some more personal news on John Aitken's son Archibald, from his first marriage!   ;)

Veitch, yes, Jane or Janet, married William Aitken,  i.e.  Archibald Aitken's paternal grandmother.    :D

So, Sarah Veitch, 74, maybe Archibalds' Great aunt, what do you think Mamakaz?   ???

And what an assortment of other folk in the house, wonder if it was a grocer's shop and they all lived and worked there together?   ???

Cheers

Just a thought, maybe Isabella Jack and (her daughter?), Margaret D Jack, and Sarah Veitch together run the grocer's shop?    :D

Archibald Aitken, apprenticed to them? and the others, are either staff, or family staying in the same premises?    :D

Mamakaz do you have the grocer's shop address please?   ???

Cheers

Hello Mamakaz

Thank you again..................I suppose the address is in Edinburgh, as it seems like a street and then the county only?   ???  or maybe its in, or near Penicuick?   ???

And, as you say, not many Veitchs around!   ;)

Cheers

Hi Mamakaz

And thank you............................Veitch being a rareish surname, there has to be a link, from Archibald Aitken,  to possibly, Sarah Veitch, but what is it?

Jane Veitch, his paternal grandmother  was born, 1791-2.  I think the info you PM is correct??   ???

cheers

Hi  Mamakaz

Back to Janet Bain, first wife of John Aitken....they were married 14 March, 1852, as Little Nell said, the marriage was proclaimed in two parishes (which?), and the poor woman died 1857.     :-\

Don't know yet, when, or how, but assuming she may have died in childbirth, during her third child's delivery?    ???

Children born: William Aitken, b. 31/10/1852    -     Penicuick

                       Archibald Aitken, b. 15/2/1855   -     Penicuick

                       John Aitken, b.8/3/1857             -     West Linton

So, did Janet Aitken die 8/3/1857, giving birth to John, and did he die then to?   :'(

Cheers
