I am trying to locate the family and ancestors of a George Aitken and Janet Cairns.
From the family Search Index I have found that George Aitken was the Son of Robert Aitken and Isavella Borthwich.
George was born in 1828 in Broughton, Midlothian, Scotland his death is estimated at 1882.
He married Janet Cairns on 8 July 1851 in Saint Cuthberts Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Janet Cairns father was Thomas Cairns.
In 1952 there was a record of a George Aitken and Janet Aitken on board the William and Mary headed for New South Wales.
The Brisbane City Council shows a grave Location for a Geoge Aitken at the Cemetery known as Toowong Burial year 1882.
I the found the following Children:
