    Notes:

    There is some doubt about her date of birth because in the 1841 Census it shows her as 7 years of age, thus born in 1834
    When she married, in 1856, she was aged 22, again born 1834.
    In the 1871 Census her age is given as 35, thus born about 1836.
    In the 1881 Census her age is given as 44, thus born about 1837.
    When she died, in 1918, she was supposedly 79, thus born 1839.

    In the "Henderson Biography" it states Jane Aitken was a "local beauty" when she married.
    and "Alexander was a good worker but fond of a dram. He was employed in the Silver Mines in Torphichan (sic) and ultimately he had a small farm in that locality. The products of the farm included butter, eggs and milk. As they had to be sold in Edinburgh, they were conveyed by horse and cart a distance of about twenty miles, which was a long and weary journey in ancient times."

    Notes:

    Married:
    The witnesses at the wedding of Alexander Learmouth and Jane Aitken were S. Barry and John Aitken.
