| 12601 | 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.

| 12616 | The nickname "Rahno" comes from a mix of her name, SaRAH NOble. The birthdate comes from Burke's Peerage. They say she was born in Newcastle, NB. But the 1881 Census says born in Ontario. And Ontario ties in with the movements of her parents. After leaving school in Newcastle, NB, Rahno attended school and university in Edinburgh, for six years. In 1896 her father went to Scotland, for his health, and Rahno accompanied him In 1904 she was a Hospital Superintendent in Montreal and at the Hospital of the Good Samaritan in Los Angeles. In a letter from Rev. William Aitken to Miss Nan Judge of Roslin in Sep 1910, he mentions the sudden death of Dr Walker in CA. USA Rahno was asthmatic, as was her brother, William Her travel diary is now in the care of the British House of Commons Library. It was deposited there by Lord Beaverbrook's biographer, Michael Davie. She loved to travel and was often accompanied by her sister, "Gyp", Jean Stickney, who was also a widow. Once or twice the travels had to be cut short due to asthmatic attacks. Sarah Noble's monumental inscription reads; "Rahno Aitken Walker, daughter of Reverend William and Jane Aitken, died Victoria, British Columbia, Jun. 8th, 1945." | Aitken, Sarah Noble (I7920)
