Her name appears to be Grace Pratt Aitken.   Seems to suggest her mother may well have the surname Pratt.

Hi Saxonw

You've lost me my friend, I don't know what a 'stews' is???  Yeh, Newington is definitely near, or in Edinburgh, I don't know which?   

Thanks to for the '81 Census details, little Richard Aitken, age 1, do we presume he could be the son of Elizabeth, age 25?   

Grace Pratt Aitken, wonder what happened to her mother, possibly, as you say a 'Pratt'?   

Cheers

Stews of London (which is the NewingtonI referred to )are the slums  and other haunts of the low life, Newington in London today  in that respect is not a lot different than it was 150 years ago (Loads of people giong up in arms at that I can see). However If there is one in Edinburgh too  : well I don;'t knowI've only been there once.However I do have a problem with the information produced by Mama Kaz

Let's be brave about this : she is in an institution as a child and at the age of 19 she turns up as as dressmaker.  One of the great euphemisms of  family history.   She must have been a very tough cookie to have survived.

Hi akwaaba

Wow, thank you for all of that..........so Janet Bain was the first wife.

And thank you  SO  much for all the other birth details and dates,  all so helpful, I do have some info on John and Grace Aitken's children, but didn't have all the birthdates etc, so again, thank you.    

So frustrating that you can't see Grace's mother's surname beyond the 'L'!!!    

Thank you, that Newington is part of Edinburgh.

Also, for all the other details, in particular the deaths, marriages etc.  So grateful!!    

Cheers

Hi Mamakaz

Whew!!!!!  What on earth could this whole long list be???  So many different names, ages, both, men, woman and children.   

Is it possible its a farm?  or maybe a poorhouse?  Can't understand why so many different people living together???!!   

Any ideas..........................

Cheers
