Thank you for Archibald's death reg and dying so young, that would certainly explain his disappearing off that Census as head of the household?! 
Is South Shields anywhere near Durham? 
Cheers

Um, I don't think so. This must be the son of Archibald & Christina. Archibald senior would appear to be dead by 1911, but I can't be certain without seeing the transcript.

Good morning, x
i got carried away yesterday on the plant side of my family, i have loads to write up now,
on my travels around the net i found this...
in my own words.....
Agnes AITKEN was born in 1773 in Kircudbrightshire, Scotland
she died in Three Rivers, PEI, Canada,
and the story goes...
Agnes went missing while walking across the ice from Murray Harbour.
unfortunatly a storm was brewing and poor Agnes was never seen again.
There is however a memorial to her on Panmure Island, but its not known
if her body was found and interred.
Agnes's parents were John AITKEN born 1729 in Greenhill, Auchenhay, Kirkcudbrightshire,
and Margaret LOUDEN b: 1739
..................................................
how interesting, poor Agnes, its nothing to do with the thread but i thought id post it, dont know how true it is, x

Hi Mamakaz
What a quaint and amazing story, and thank you so much for posting it, ......poor Agnes Aitken! 
And, yet another John Aitken , as her father!
Kirkcudbrightshire.........again, need to look into the geography and see how close it is to Midlothian and maybe Peeble-Shire, and Lanark?? Could be interesting.
Good luck, with your Plants..................
Cheers and thanks

A very useful map for the location of Scottish Counties (and a very useful website overall) is here:
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/sct_cmap.html
Kirkcudbright is on the west coast (far south), while Midlothian is on the east coast, so they are not very close at all. Lanark and Peebles are on the south/west side of Midlothian.

Hi KirstyG
Thank you for the help with the locations and the very helpful link.........
Not phazed by Kirkcudbrightshire being on the W. Coast...........thats good for us, as Grace Aitken, nee Tennant, left Edinburgh, after marriage and moved to Kirkurd, Peebles-Shire, later on to West Linton, Peebles-Shire.
So, both Mamakaz's and my Aitkens might well, as far back as Agnes Aitken's father John Aitken, descend from him, or near members of his family? Who knows? 
Another journey of discovery awaits!
cheers

As per kind information of weech..........
Grace Aitken's, nee Tennant, daughter-in-law, Lady Caroline Aitken, widow of Grace's second son, Sir Robert Aitken, returned to England, from India, to live, 1936, on board the "City of Shimla".
Her destination abode was given as Arden House, West Byflet, Surrey, England.
It is thought that Lady Aitken died shortly afterwards, but we do not have her death details and any help would be much appreciated?
Cheers
