hi there, x
          i was just wondering if anyone on RC is researching the plant family,
and if there are any plants out there that can claim this family?

my grt granny was Annie Plant 1903-1984 she married Charles Bruce Aitken in 1923, i have their marriage cert which shows Arthur G Plant (platelayer) as her father, my mum has wonderful childhood memory's of visiting Yorkshire in 1960's, ill have to find the photo's,
i will be going back as far as i can with the Plant family, so if theres anyone
out there with Plant connections, come and join me,

1901 England Census
Arthur G Plant b 1870 31yrs, Charndon, Buckinghamshire,(head)
his wife Elizabeth b 1873 28yrs, Bedale, Yorkshire,
they lived in Darlington, St John, Durham 
Arthur was a platelayer N.E.R ? (would this be railway?)
Williamth Plant 4yrs son (says William on original page)
Lilian Plant 3yrs  daughter
John T Lamb 19yrs  Boarder, platelayer
......................................

then in 1911 census they were living in
East Cowton, North allerton, County Yorkshire, North Riding
Lillian Plant 12yrs daughter
Annie Plant 7yrs daughter (my grt granny)     
Arthur Plant 5yrs son
William is missing in 1911, he would have been 14yrs, would he have been
to young to leave behind? or maybe he died.

ok, hope to hear from someone, thanks for reading,

he married Annie Plant (my grt grandmother)
and they had 1 child, Bruce Aitken in 1923,  the family story say's......

Charles was in his 50's(57?) when bruce was born and Annie was only 19yrs old,
Annie always said that Charles had died when Bruce was young, or maybe he left them?
my Grandad Bruce did not know much about his father.
im having trouble finding any info on charles, im sure he was born in scotland,
and he may have been married befor, i pay for ancestry.com but cant view the scottish records, and its quite hard to check if i have the correct Charles,

so if anyone is bored or has already checked the Aitken family, any help will be much appreciated,
thanks, kaz, x
