Hello
Many grateful thanks to Laurina for her exceptional help with details of the Kiddle Family of St Ives. Much appreciated! 
Can anyone please help and post, when and where it was, that Norah Jean Kiddle married John Ellis Aitken? 
Did the marriage possibly take place in St Ives, or in Bombay, India, the birthplace and workplace of John Ellis Aitken, although he and his younger sister, Marjory Grace Aitken, did at times, live with their grandparents, John and Grace Aitken, in West Linton, Peebles-Shire, Scotland. 
Cheers
Danchaslyn

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
Hello again weech, welcome back

They were married in Rawal Pindee in the North West provinces, that would be near the Khyber Pass, in 1867. They were then living in Peshawar. WIll reply in length by email shortly.

Hello weech
That's wonderful your third message, now you can receive and send Personal Messages. What I don't know, if the one that I sent you yesterday, if you will have got it now, or if it was lost, because you hadn't yet posted 3x? Please let me know if you have it, if not, I'll send it again.
Also, your India Records Office of the British Library is turning up trumps for you, well done!
So, Theolophilis and Sophia's marriage certainly took place in far flung regions of India, and I assume this was because of his Clerk of Works job?
So, Sophia was from a Gordon family, I wonder if they were Scottish?
Can't wait to receive your email...........
Cheers

Hi Laurina
Yes, hi and thanks for both your previous posts.........so hooping that when you return to St Ives in the autumn that you will be able to find River View!!!
At least I know now that it wasn't a house that John Ellis Aitken bought, it was definitely a Kiddle house!
With regard to Decima, yes, what an unusual name and I had such a as I imagine its something like short for Decimal, i.e. 10!!!!!
Cheers

Hello Aghadowey
Oh, third time trying to reply!!!! Such pc battery problems this morning, and each time, I finished my reply and tried adding some smileys, whole message has disappeared! No more smileys!!
Anyway, so sorry, a typo occured in the link, of course, 'ondex', should be index!
I originally erroneously started the thread on the England, Cornwall Board, as I thought that the relevant St Ives, was in Cornwall, and not the St Ives, in Doushire, Huntingdonshire.
Krisesjoint, the Moderator for Cornwall, very kindly moved this thread to 'General Completed Requests', I'm not sure if that is still in Cornwall, or in a general area?
It would be great if if could be linked to this thread in some way?
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Hello All
Have a burning curiosity to know exactly how fellow RootsChat Member 'weech' and myself are related, however distantly?!
I'm aware there are relationship calculators on the www, but I'm unable to download any due to ultra slow 'dial-up' only internet.
Please would some kind fellow member post the answer?
Myself, I'm the grandchild of maternal, great uncle's, younger brother.
Weech is the grandchild of my great uncle's, sister-in-law.
i.e. my maternal grandfather, the Rev Thomas Aitken's older brother, Sir Robert Aitken's wife, Lady Caroline Aitken's (nee Lobb, India), younger sister, Ellen Lobb's, son's offspring, is fellow RootsChat Member, weech.
Cheers
