    Notes:

    Her first child was born illegitimate. The father was James Aitken of Silvermines farm, her cousin who she eventually married. "James confession was a masterpiece of avoidance; 'I hereby acknowledge to have had carnal connection with Marion Aitken, Torphichen, daughter of Peter Aitken there about the time she must have got with the child of which she was lately delivered.'
    Things worked out , however as the couple married a couple of years later but not before making the same mistake again when their second child was born on what appears to be their wedding day. The wedding cost 2/6.

    The family is supposed to have moved, at about 1854, from Silvermine Farm to Montaree, also known as Mount Eerie or Mounteerie or Montearie, also probably as Windy Wa's (Walls), because he became bankrupt.

    Informant of the death of James Aitken was his son Peter Aitken

    "James Aitken died 16 June 1884 aged 69, wife Marion Aitken died 6 November 1885 aged 70, daughter Catherine died 25 November 1849 aged 14 , daughter Jane died 10 May 1876 aged 32."
