    Notes:

    In Mar 1900 his brother John was married. James was a witness at the wedding

    James farmed at Overton Farm in the Polmont, STI, area.
    They proceeded to have 4 children and then James migrated to Australia by himself, with his wife and children to follow.
    Once getting set, though not settled, he sent for his wife and children.
    James and family then lived in and around the Brisbane area, Mount Brisbane, Scarborough, Towoomba, Rath Pine and then Sandgate.
    At Sandgate, then a separate town now a suburb of Brisbane, he owned a dairy in partnership with a Dane call Madsen, Sandgate Dairy, Bald Hills Road Sandgate.
    After the family arrived he and Margaret had a daughter, Lillian Moffat Aitken.
    James corresponded with his brother John who was farming at Hareburn Farm. In one letter he told of a tiny school nearby where the pupils and staff were terrified when a snake got into the school and would not leave. They called on James who promptly shot the reptile.
    It was believed that James was killed in a tractor accident whilst aged in his 30's. He may have died of a heart attack. On late information just received it states he died of a brain haemorrhage.
    When he died his wife was already pregnant with their daughter May. After May was born Margaret and and the children set sail back to Scotland on a troop ship. This turned out to be an epic journey, of 7 weeks, as the ship zig zagged its way across the oceans avoiding U-Boats and picking up survivors from stricken vessels.
    May died of influenza, which was in pandemic proportions, either on board the ship or very soon after landing.
    Margaret remarried in Scotland to John Morrison. John and James, Margaret's eldest boy, then went to the USA, with Margaret and the rest of the children following. Margaret and children arrived in the Port of New York on 1 Aug 1923. Margaret and John then provided a half brother for the children.
