Hi akwaaba
Wow, thank you for all of that..........so Janet Bain was the first wife. 
And thank you SO much for all the other birth details and dates, all so helpful, I do have some info on John and Grace Aitken's children, but didn't have all the birthdates etc, so again, thank you. 
So frustrating that you can't see Grace's mother's surname beyond the 'L'!!! 
Thank you, that Newington is part of Edinburgh.
Also, for all the other details, in particular the deaths, marriages etc. So grateful!!
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Hi Mamakaz
Whew!!!!! What on earth could this whole long list be??? So many different names, ages, both, men, woman and children. 
Is it possible its a farm? or maybe a poorhouse? Can't understand why so many different people living together???!!
Any ideas..........................
Cheers

You can't see the original returns on Ancestry: It is almost certainly a workhouse because of the mixed aged span. Unusual for someone some young to be in an adult workhoue without other members of the family. She must have been at the bottom end of the age range. This is an idea about Edinburgh workhouses.

Hi akwaaba
My dial up internet is getting slower and slower...........Richard Aitken, b. 12/5/1874, son of John and Grace Aitken, I haven't been able to find out anything about him, beyond that he became at bank clerk at age 16, possibly at Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, and then emigrated, but I don't know where???
His older brother Robert, banker, I know quite a bit about, and I'll post about him to-morrow, as internet to slow now, and also I'll post what I know about their brother Thomas.
Their sister, Elizabeth, b. 3/8/1865,I would love to know about, have assumed in the past that she became a 'companion' to other members of the family?
Have you any idea please, who the parents of John William Aitken and Jane Veitch are ?
Cheers
Danchaslyn

I haven't disappeared, just takes about 10 minutes to open each page at night, when its busy!!!
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.......

yes, yes, yes......................you have it, Richard Aitken going to New York, I'm sure of it!!!
As I've said to Mamakaz in the past, we suddenly have American cousins, I know some of their surnames were Yuill and also Bateman.........have lost touch with them all completely, and when I still had living relatives who could tell me how come we had/have American cousins, I didn't bother to ask. Silly me, 
Did Richard carry on his banking, I wonder?
Cheers
Danchaslyn
P.S. - haven't had a chance yet to check out the Edinburgh Institutions, if I go for a while, that is where I am!!

Hi saxonw
I think the Rootschatters locked my Cornwall, St Ives Topic, it was I think under John Ellis Aitken, St Ives?
John Ellis Aitken, son of Sir Robert Aitken, also a banker in Bombay, India, went to and fro, First Class, (pampered devils!!! ), by ship, obviously, and he always put his address, as River View, St Ives, so, again, silly me, I assumed, St Ives, Cornwall!
But, nooooooo, St Ives, Huntindonshire, England!! Where I later started a new topic for John Ellis and his wife Norah Jean Aitken.
cheers

Oh my goodness, what descriptions about the poorhouses, and workhouses AND...... the houses of Correction in Edinburgh!!!!! 
Well, as you say, Grace Tennant, so young to be in one, but what a survivor!!!
Grace Aitken, so, how on earth do I find out which one she was in?
Cheers

Hi again, Yep it's a hospital. It has moved a couple of times since then.In 1841 it appears to have been in Old School Wynd. Not far from the Newington area of Edinburgh.
