Hi
Would welcome please lookup help, for full dates of birth, places of birth, marriage dates and places, death dates, causes and places, and anything else of interest, for my family, listed below.
To summarise, some of what I know so far, Grace Tennant, b. Edinburgh, 1831, d. 16/10/1910, married John Aitken, b. 1826-7?, a sawyer of Kirkurd, d.1913, Newington?
Who were Grace's parents please?  Who were John's parents please?
John Aitken had been married before, but I have no details of his first wife, or where and when wed? 
I have details of his first two sons, William Aitken, b. 1853 and Archibald, b.1855, possibly at Penicuik, or Bridgehouse Mile, West Lothian? Would welcome more details on them?
In a later post I can go into details of John and Grace Aitken's children.
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Hi mamakaz
Thank you, and as usual, you have come up with great info.  you are SO good at this, and an absolute credit to RootsChat!! .................do I assume that Grace Tennant, at 29, was still not married? And as she lived in a Manse, could her parents have been ministers? 
Cheers

Hi Mamakaz
Well, as she became John Aitken's second wife, she probably married later in life, than most. Any news on his first wife? Mother of his first two sons, William and Archibald please?
The Manse, will be another place to look at, on the looksee trip!
Cheers

Newington unless there one in Edinburgh (my Scottish knowledge is virtually non-existent) is by any other name Kennington ie The Elephant & Castle just South of the Thames and has been for the last 150 years the stews of the Capital (well some of them anyway)

Her name appears to be Grace Pratt Aitken. Seems to suggest her mother may well have the surname Pratt.

Hi Saxonw
You've lost me my friend, I don't know what a 'stews' is??? Yeh, Newington is definitely near, or in Edinburgh, I don't know which?
Thanks to for the '81 Census details, little Richard Aitken, age 1, do we presume he could be the son of Elizabeth, age 25?
Grace Pratt Aitken, wonder what happened to her mother, possibly, as you say a 'Pratt'?
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Stews of London (which is the NewingtonI referred to )are the slums and other haunts of the low life, Newington in London today in that respect is not a lot different than it was 150 years ago (Loads of people giong up in arms at that I can see). However If there is one in Edinburgh too : well I don;'t knowI've only been there once.However I do have a problem with the information produced by Mama Kaz
Let's be brave about this : she is in an institution as a child and at the age of 19 she turns up as as dressmaker. One of the great euphemisms of family history. She must have been a very tough cookie to have survived.
