Hello Weech
Welcome, welcome welcome, not only to RootsChat, but to our search for the Aitkens! 
I am absolutely thrilled that you have appeared! 
For many, many years, my family and I have sought info, some, now deceased even travelling 6 000 miles and more, in the days before the www to visit graveyards, to try to trace relatives. 
I was at the stage where I was about to go searching for the Lobb Family! 
I will Personal Message you, also, please click on the blue messages at the top of this site. 
Please can you tell me asap how many siblings Caroline and Ellen Lobb had? 
And, their Dad, as Clerk of Works, in Bengal, I think, what did this job involve?
And where were the Lobbs from in the UK?
And when did they go to settle in India?
I know we have so much to exchange, but these questions, I'm burning for answers! (and all the rest!)........ 
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Thank you, yes, so cool.....................crossing fingers and toes and everything else for you, that another member of your Plant family will turn up on your site!
Our joint search for Aitkens and all other associated families has been such a journey of discovery together, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all your wonderful support and help.
You are a great gal!

Hello Laurina
Thank you so much for your info and so wonderful to have a local flavour on this search.
Not sure if you know already, but I and others posted some other Aitken/Kiddle info on a Thread I started by mistake in RC, England, Cornwall, St Ives, because before I knew better, I thought St Ives was the St Ives in Cornwall.
I would love you to be able to check out the Kiddle house in the autumn and let us know what you found? Also, if "River View" does possibly still exist to-day?
I'm still trying to discover if John Ellis and Norah Aitken and Family, eventually left India for good?
And, if so, did they return permanently to the UK, and if so, to where?
Any help would be so gratefully received, especially as I have dial up internet only and find it incredibly difficult and sometimes impossible to download stuff, such as shipping lists etc. 
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Hello Laurina
Again, thank you SO much, and how amazing that so many of the Kiddle Family were Mayors!
Thank you to for the link to the furniture shop.......good on you finding it!
I would be absolutely fascinated to know the connection, as to how, John Ellis Aitken, a banker in India with his father, met and married Norah Jean Kiddle of St Ives?
Also, I've found out which banks John Ellis Aitken's father was with in India, but not which bank, if different to the ones his father, Sir Robert Aitken, was with in India, John Ellis was with?
Cheers

Hello Laurina
I wonder if Jack Kiddle, four years after the St Ives newsletter you linked me to, was published, is still riding his bicycle around St Ives?!!
Also, as you say, fascinating about the Kiddle Coaches!
Please, when you do visit there in the autumn, will you try to find out if any of Kiddles are still around in St Ives, despite selling off the coach company please?
Cheers

Hello Laurina
The gap, in your listing of Mayors of the Borough of St Ives, Laurina, between Edward Kiddle, and Geoffrey Kiddle, from 1941 - 1952, where there isn't 'a Kiddle as Mayor, could be explained by what is obviously a family tradition by then, that the patriarch becomes mayor, could be explained by the death of his son, Sgt Robert Kiddle killed in action, during 1915, age 20. 
Cheers

Hello Laurina
Would love to trace the Kiddles as well and hoping that weech returns ASAP, so we also can go on the journey of the Lobb Family in India, and before that, where they were in the UK?
Afterall, Norah Jean Aitken, nee Kiddle's mother-in-law, was born Caroline Lobb of Bengal, in India!
Cheers
Danchaslyn
