I am researching John Aitchison but limited information eg death cert, 1851 census (two unmarried daughters and grandson), but no marriage details or daughters birth/death dates on Scotlands People. There may be a Berwick connection. If I could find John's wife this would be a great lead. David

I can see what you mean, other records do not seem to match the census below, except this on SP;
Aitchison John 30/12/1859 merchant at Glasgow, daughters are Janet Aitchison and Mary Newbigging Aitchison Inventory Glasgow Sheriff Court Inventories

Many thanks for your speedy response. I also read his inventory which confirms his two daughters as executors and they seem to have lived all their lives in Glasgow. I found the patent for evaporating machines and a couple of addresses, probably business addresses, in Glasgow which no longer exist. It's very odd that the daughters birth and deaths are not recorded or John's marriage! I did look for whole of Scotland. The grandson may be a berwick connection (census sates him as being born in England). David

A November 1848 marriage notice found in various newspapers of timescale:
. Hugh Robertson, of Gartlock. to Margaret, eldest daughter of John Aitchison, Esq. merchant, Glasgow.
Also, two July 1849 deaths:
. Sauchiehall Street, on the Ist instant, James, second son. aynd Deptford on the 2d, Walter, eldest son of Mr. John Aitchison, merchant, Glasgow.
Likely index for Walter's death with surname variant:
Aitcheson Walter Greenwich 5 187
Possible family group in London at 1841, with surname mis-transcribed::
Walter Atchieson Male 40 1801 Scotland
Elizabeth Atchieson Female 30 1811 Middlesex, England
John Atchieson Male 7 1834 India
Walter Atchieson Male 4 1837 Middlesex, England
Elizabeth Atchieson Female 2 1839 Middlesex, England
Archibald Atchieson Male 0 1841 Middlesex, England
and fits for the grandson, Walter, in Glasgow at 1851.

Many thanks for all the assistance with John Aitchison. You have given me a few good resource ideas and information which I can use to expand on his family history and social history of the period. Your time spent and willingness to share your research knowledge has been greatly appreciated. David
