• Notes

  They were absolved of the sin of Antenuptial fornication, on 5 Jan 1848 by the Kirk Session at Torphichen, West Lothian and Marion was restored to the privileges of the Church but not John, because of a previous "fama" There appears to be some vendetta against this family by the church!! John was the informant on his mother's death certificate, in 1888. The informant of the death of John was his son Robert Aitken
