Title: John Aitchison & Margaret Penman... Marr 1864
Post by: ajjbc on Monday 16 May 16 16:35 BST (UK)
Seeking a wee bit of help.
  I have a John Aitchison born c 1834,son of William Aitchison & Agnes Clarke.
John Aitchison married Dec 23 1864 at Dunse.(have cert) to Margaret Penman born 1835.

 In 1864 his occupation was a Slater.
   I cannot seem to find them on the census.
 Did they leave Berwickshire?
    Any leads appreciated.

Any ideas?  Thanks

Could they have moved to England and died there? 

Does he still have the same occupation on the census you found?

I suspect that they emigrated,but not knowing where to yet.
  I am going to try Australia and New Zealand next.
    One always hopes when they post a question,someone will pop up and reply

Wonder if he  died then. Between 1871_1881  maybe you should get the original census for Margaret in 1881 to see if she is listed as a widow ?

My 6x gr grandmother was Elizabeth Penman married to Oswald Skene. They lived at Coldingham I believe. Could she be related to Margaret?

Colinskene,
            I have yet to run into your Elizabeth Penman (born1801).
My Margaret was born at Fogo,Berwickshire and her father was John Penman.

There is a daughter born 1801 but she is the daughter of Elizabeth Penman and Oswald Skene. I have never been able to find her birth, marriage or death details to work out who her parents were. Any ideas anyone?
