William, Jessie, Jane and William junior departed from Leith, for NZ, on board the "Strathallen", in 1857.
The ship left Leith on the 4 Oct 1857 arriving at Port Chalmers, Otago, 8 Jan 1858 after a voyage of 96 days. Even after that long journey they still had to wait four days before they could get ashore.
Jane was a Midwife. The Johnston Journal says "the Strath Taieri District had reason to be very grateful to Jane Johnston for the excellent work as a midwife that she did for many years." | Aitken, Jane Melville (I6822)

William, Jessie, Jane and William junior departed from Leith, for NZ, on board the "Strathallen", in 1857.
The ship left Leith on the 4 Oct 1857 arriving at Port Chalmers, Otago, 8 Jan 1858 after a voyage of 96 days. Even after that long journey they still had to wait four days before they could get ashore.
By the time the family arrived in NZ there had been an addition to the family, Johan Todd Strathallen Aitken. The boy was named after the master of the ship and the ship itself.
This is rather surprising given the report of the captain's conduct. An extract from the "Otago Witness" of Saturday January 16th, 1858, reads;
"We have to welcome the immigrants by the Strathallen which arrived in this port on Friday last, bringing 289 passengers.
She left Leith on Sunday 4th of October, and had a fine passage of 79 days from land to land, and landed her passengers on the 100th day from leaving the Leith docks. The voyage was, we understand, a very agreeable one. We have to regret the death of one adult and several children, the latter being chiefly infants born on the voyage. The ship was plentifully and well found, and the passengers were much indebted to Mr Greene, the chief officer, to whose hands the management of the ship chiefly devolved for his considerate attention. We regret to hear that the conduct of the Captain was not such as could be desired, but any definicies (sic) on his part were fully made up by the conduct of his subordinates. It is satisfactory to know that the conduct of Mr Greene, the chief officer, has met with its due reward, that gentleman having conceded to the command of the vessel, the captain having resigned his charge."
In an extract from "NZ Shipwrecks and Tragedies";
"When the Strathallen arrived in Otago in 1858, after a voyage on which her master, Captain John Todd, spent most of his time rip-roaring drunk, the whole crew struck and was imprisoned for its common sense."
On the same ship travelled Thomas Aitken, William's cousin
William lived in Mosgiel and later Outram, Otago, where he was involved in the building trade. In 1879 he built a school at Taieri Ferry on the Taieri Plain. The school was established on the condition that the settler's children and the local Maori children are allowed to be educated together. This was the only school on the plain where this was permitted. It remained this way until its closure in 1925. | Aitken, William (I6817)

Following the death of Jessie there must have been some sort of autopsy held because it stated on her Death Certificate that it was "the verdict of the jury" that she died of Bright's disease of the kidney and heart failure. | Threadgold, Jessie Melville (I6819)
