Hi All,
Thought I'd post my new interests in associated names - these are all collateral lines but may help me untangle a puzzle. I know there are people out there researching the same people as I've seen bits of trees on Worldconnect (rootsweb).
Thomas Aitken (1803-1872) and Isabella Lind (1802-1877) had the following children in Kirknewton:-
George Aitken (1830-1856)
William Aitken (1832-1891) m Elizabeth Wardlaw
Elizabeth Aitken (1834-?) m Alexander Binnie
Jane Aitken (1836-?) m James Aitcheson
Thomas Aitken (1837-?) m 2nd marr to Agnes Haig
James Aitken (1839-?)
Isabella Aitken (1841-?)
Margaret Aitken (1844-1921) m John Thomson (my line)
Robert Aitken (1846-?) m 1. Isabella Cherry 2. Isabella Fleming
Mary Aitken (1851-?)
If you have any connections get in touch I've plenty of source material and I'm very very curious about where these folk where baptised if at all. I know they don't appear on the Kirknewton OPR that I have access to so most of my info is from Marriages and Deaths.
Happy digging,
Pam

Hiya Pat,
Wonderful to here from you
I have a number of images that I can send you - please PM me your email and I'll send them to you.
Primarily I found Jane's marriage (1859) to James which lists all the parents. While I was at the GROS in Edinburgh I looked up a few births of their children to confirm the 1881 census entry is them...and it was.
66 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh
James Aitchison M 43 Head Edinburgh Cattle Dealer
Jane Aitchison M 43 Wife Kirknewton, Edinburgh
Robert Aitchison 16 Son Crammond, Edinburgh Butcher
Elizabeth Aitchison 14 Dau Crammond, Edinburgh General Servant
Margaret Aitchison 12 Dau Crammond, Edinburgh Scholar
Thomas Aitchison 9 Son Dalkeith, Edinburgh Scholar
Charles Aitchison 5 Son Dalkeith, Edinburgh
George Aitchison 3 Son Dalkeith, Edinburgh
William Aitchison 2m Son Dalkeith, Edinburgh

I should of said - my website (in my signature) has the full knowledge I have on this family. If a birth says "Abt" then the info is from a census. I may have more on paper but it won't be much.
Cheers,
Pam

Hiya Peter,
Do you know who Eliza's parents were? Do you have the marriage cert this will name both her parents?
Check out this thread for finding it if you haven't...
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,24468.0.html
I'll then have a look to see if it fits with any of mine. I think 3 of the above Aitkensended up in Edinburgh so you never know
All the best,
Pam

hi
i believe my Aitken family came from Kirknewton.
Janet Aitken christened 1799 Kirknewton/East Calder married 1824 Kirknewton/East Calder Midlothian to James Brown christened 1799 Kirknewton/East Calder.
Janet Aitken parents were James Aitken and Margaret Brown. Does anyone have anymore information to these people.
regards cindy

Hi Cindy,
A very warm welcome to Rootschat. I wonder if Janet is related to the Listonsheilds Aitkens. These are the "other" family other than my Pathhead Aitkens that I can find in Kirknewton.
Do you have any of your family in 1841?
I'll have a look at my records when I get home tonight to see if I can see anything.
Pam

Hi Pam.
yes i did find them in the 1841 census living in Edinburgh.
Janet Aitken and her husband James Brown only had 3 children that i can find.
James born 1827 St Cuthberts Edinburgh. Janet c1833 and Elizabeth c1836 cant find a birth /christening but the 1841 census states they were born in Midlothian.
Also listed with them in the census is a Alexander Gillies aged 18yrs born Midlothian and Mary Gillies aged46yrs born Midlothian.
I am sure my Janet is mostly likely daughter of James Aitkens and Margaret Brown unless i can be proved.
wrong. The only Janet Aitken in the IGI from Kirknewton/east Calder is daughter to James Aitken and Margaret Brown.
In the 1851 census Edinburgh Janet listed her birthplace as Kirknewton.

Good news for you.
I've just popped into the National Archives before getting my butty and I have information on your family.
Are you familiar with the ScotlandsPeople website?
They have downloadable wills. I suggest you need to download the will for James Aitken dated 29th December 1843.
This is the James Aitken of Listonshields. He is on the 1841 census which you can find at FREECEN.
This is a great will by the way, about 5 or 6 pages long with lots of information. Primarily for you it names his wife as Margaret Brown or Aitken.
To further solidify the connection he names his children...
Living at Canongate in Edinburgh is Janet Aitken or Brown AND Margaret Aitken or GILLIES (she might be in Portobello?). He names more children than that but I didn't note them all.
This will confirms your IGI connection to the 1841 family. I didn't get long enough to read it all so I still don't know if it connects to my family down the road at Pathhead!
Wills cost £5 to download but I think this will gives you so much info it is worth it.
All the best,
Pam
I think this is the house... it's near Balerno postcode EH14 7JL so you can find it on multimap. I'm not sure if it is in the parish boundary fro Kirknewton though so it may not be! Need to check an old map.

Hi Pam,
Thanks a million. Thank you for doing that for me.
I have once, gone into that website but realise you had to pay per view.
I have a problem though i dont have a credit card. Is there another way i can get the will by slow mail. Do you know the address where i can send a letter and pay for it.
I am not sure what muti map is? Is Balerno a place/suburb of Kirknewton?
thanks again Cindy

Balerno is a small village in the parish of Currie which neighbours Kirknewton parish.
I'm not sure about snail mail wills I can see what I can find.
Cheers,
Pam

Thanks Pam,
I have to ask you a question, i have this feeling that my Janet Aitken and her husband James Brown maybe cousins. I know that Brown is a popular surname but James parents being John Brown/Margaret Carfrae and Janets parents being John Aitken and Margaret Brown and the area being Currie.
My question is did cousins marry alot in those days?
Cindy
