So now I am asking to try to find the Katherine/Catherine Aitken that married George Hunter 23 Nov 1804 Kinghorn and the mother of George Hunter shoemaker born 8 July 1819 Kirkcaldie

It is best to verify all records

George Hunter born 8 Jul 1819 in Kirkcaldy
I take it that George is from your line and his death confirmed his parents as George Hunter and Catherine Aitken.

[weasel1]

yes sancti verified the correct George Hunter according to my mother who's  daughter Helen was my her grandmother

Who when and where did George marry?

Sorry for the delay I was called out of town.
George from what someone from another site told me was that he married Janet Hunter 10 Feb 1844 Alloa Clackmanshire.  I know that George and family shows on the 1851 census as being married to a Janet and was living at 109 Pleasance St Cuthberts Edinburgh. I was having difficulty finding who he marry so I asked for help at that time and that was the info I was given.  He definitely is the correct George

[sancti]

If you get Georges death certificate, after 1855, it should tell you who he was married to and the names of his parents.

Do any of Georges children have middle names that could give clues to grandparents?

[weasel1]

I do not have any middle names for any of the children just Gunn and Simpson for George's daughter Helen.  I trace the Simpson but have never found the Gunn.

you must be talking about the 1881 census.  it shows family in the 71 census same address the 91 census shows him and Janet at 3 Couper St Leith.  The family is also show in 61 at 8 North Blk of Canongate Edinburgh.  The 51 census that I mentioned earlier has them living at 109 Pleasance St Edinburgh St Cuthberts
