    Notes:

    Lord Beaverbrook maintained that "it was his Celtic strain that he inherited from his Irish mother , that gave him the side that 'gets up and dances'." However Jane was not born in Ireland, according to Beaverbrook's biography, she was born in Ontario, Canada. His biography gives her being born about 1843 however the 1881 Census says she was 32 in 1881 which would make her born about 1849. Her parents were Irish, having emigrated from County Tyrone in the 1840's.

    Jane's marriage was undemonstrative but she was devoted to her husband.
    Jean McLintock, daughter of Jane and William was quoted as saying "Mama was the stronger character."

    "As the wife of the minister of St James she was automatically one of the town's leading citizens, and she played her full part, arranging sewing parties at the manse, giving tea parties on the lawn in summer, and organising dances in the double parlour. She was a good cook. Everyone who knew her regarded her as an efficient manager running the house and family, ambitious for her children and standing no nonsense from the congregation. Her response to whispered disapproval about dancing in the manse was to hold a special dance and send out printed invitations."
    A.J.P.Taylor.
    On a trip to Scotland Jane travelled from Canada, Quebec, to Southampton on board the Canadian Pacific ship "Empress of Scotland" in Oct 1924. She travelled 1st Class with her daughter Anne. The shipping documents give their contact address as the Stafford Hotel, St James's Place, London.
    She survived her husband by 14 years and she wore widows weeds until the day she died. According to Beaverbrook's biography she died Jun 1927. Burke's Peerage gives her date of death as 6 Aug 1927. According to the OCFA she was buried at St Andrews Presbyterian Cemetery Maple, Vaughan, York County, ONT.

    Jane married Reverend William Cuthbert Aitken on 8 May 1867 in Vaughan, York, Ontatio, Canada. William (son of Robert Aitken and Ann Henderson) was born on 28 Feb 1834 in Torphichen, West Lothian, Scotland; died on 13 Dec 1913 in Newcastle, Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada; was buried in St Andrew.
