    Notes:

    About 1855, with a downturn in his father's fortunes, the family had to move from Silvermine Farm to Montaree Farm. This was around the other side of the Cairnpepple hill. Every person in the family had to help with the removal by carrying furniture, goods and belongings. Young John had to carry his own chair.

    When the family arrived at their new home, John was missing. A search was instituted. The elder children were sent to retrace their steps. John was eventually found fast asleep on his chair on the side of Cairnpepple hill. He had stopped for a rest, sat down on his chair and fallen asleep

    Quite enjoying his drink there was many an occasion when Johns horse would bring him home whilst he was asleep lying in the back of the cart. This whilst working for Melrose Drovers.
    Later on John had a gardening contracting business and he used to keep his tools under a pub in Goldenacre. Thus it was handy for his afterwork ale.

    After his wife died he used to visit his son, Tom and family, at Craigmiller. Sinclairina Stewart (nee Aitken), remembers him as a small man, looking very much like Beaverbrook. Sinclairina remembers that whoever met him off the bus would always receive a silver threepenny. As a present, to the house, he would also have a packet of Abernethy biscuits and a bag of pan drops.

    The informant on the death of William Aitken was John Aitken, brother
