Midlothian / Re: Edinburgh address - a Close off High St
« on: Sunday 30 June 19 09:15 BST (UK)  »
Strichens Close was formerly at 104 High St and was owned by John Aitken, tee total coffee house keeper, 1807-1855. Some of his wife's family lived there as well, Wisharts from around Coldingham. On John's death it passed to his son+, also named John, in the service of heirs.  The Bishop of Melroses house was at the back of the close.

Hi John,
I researched this character many years ago for a friend (Norris line).  I seem to remember that he was a border-hopper so perhaps have a look at NSW records too.  Nice to find out who his parents were.
