    Notes:

    The lease of Wester Tartraven Farm was granted to John in 1802, at a rent of 35 pounds. This lease was renewed for 20 years in 1820. This then takes us to 1840 when John died. There are no records as to who leased it from 1840 until 1847 when records show John's son, Robert, in possession.
    In 1832 he must already have been a man of property.
    The "List of the Electors of the County of Linlithgow" was produced in 1858. This listing states that "in 1832, 1837 and 1838, that Robert Aitken, Lime-burner, of Silver-Mine, Torphichen, Bathgate, was a tenant occupier".
    Who one actually voted for was recorded. In 1832 Robert voted for Sir A. Hope and in 1837 he voted for Captain Hope, in 1838 he voted for Mr Charles Hope.
    It is not surprising that Robert had voted that way. The land he leased, for farming and his lime burning business, was owned by the Hope family, the Hope's of Hopetoun, Earls of Linlithgow.
    Robert's father held the lease of Wester Tartraven and the Limecraig of Silvermine until 1840.
    I cannot find any record of who held the lease between 1840 and 1847, it was our Robert, according to Burke's Peerage.
    In 1844 he bought a house in Bathgate. Then in 1845 he bought the grounds and buildings on the east side of Engine Street and the south side of North Street.
    1847 must have been a momentous year for Robert and Ann.
    That year, Robert, acquired more properties in Bathgate.
    He signed a lease, for 18 years, for Silvermines farm.
    His wife, Ann, also acquired property in Bathgate in 1847. So she must have been a woman of some substance as well.
    Robert, Ann and their daughter Catherine all joined Torphichen Church.
