    • Worked as a Dressmaker/Seamstress with Hardie, the draper in George Street, then called Engine Street, Bathgate. When her mother died, in 1934, she gave up work to look after the house for her father. Her father died in 1937 and she was the informant on his death but she did not return to paid work instead worked from home with her dressmaking..

      Jean's bridesmaid was her sister Bethia. Six years later she was able to return the favour when Bethia married

      The informant of the death of Andrew Britton was his wife Jean Aitken

      Ballencrief Nursery was sold in the 1950's and Jean and her sister Bethia moved to a flat owned by their cousin J.A.Livingstone, at 4 North Bridge Street, Bathgate,

      The informant, on her Death Certificate, was her cousin, J.A.Livingstone.
