1858 he emigrated to NZ, on board the Strathallen.
He was one of the earliest carpenters in the Otago district. His workbook covering the period 1864 -1875 shows that he turned his hand to many jobs, mainly farm work. It also recorded that he worked for many people including James Aitken, his future father-in-law.
Prior to 1872 most of Tom's work had been seasonal but now he was almost permanently working at the Mosgiel Woollen Mills and a number of houses in the locality.
In 1874 and 1875 he was engaged on the new railway station and goods shed. In the village there were new opportunities as the town began to develop.
Tom bought land in Bush Road, Mosgiel where he built his family home, at what is now 114 Bush Road.
The Timber for the house was hewn in an area known as Mosgiel Bush in Carlyle Road. The timber was pit sawn and the pits were still visible in the 1930's.
Thomas was a pillar of the community being involved with many good works in and around Mosgiel.
A school committee was elected in 1873. Two of the members were J. Smeaton and T. Aitken. In 1883 there was a big hotel fire. This highlighted the need for a good water supply. Tom served on the Mosgiel Borough Council from 1885 to 1917. Nothing eventuated, about the water supply until 1892 when the council appointed a sub-committee to investigate the best method of obtaining the water.
Tom became the Mayor of Mosgiel in 1900, serving as mayor until 1905-6.
As mayor he chaired patriotic meetings held for the purpose of raising funds to support the cause in the Boer War. Over 100 pounds were raised and within the week the figure had exceeded 250 pounds.
In 1903 he was president of a committee to form the Taieri Pipe Band.
Tom was a member of the Freemason and Druid Lodges, also a member of the Burns Club Choir and the Racing Club.
In July 1906 a public meeting was convened by the Mayor, Thomas Aitken, to form a Fire Brigade.
He died, at his home in Mosgiel, on 22 Oct. 1922.
A lot of the above information was from "The Pulse of the Plain - A history of Mosgiel", by W. R. Kirk, written in 1985.

The 1st of January 1896 saw him in Edinburgh.
Thomas was "brought to a knowledge of Christ in the Carruber's Close Mission, Edinburgh. His conversion was pronounced and led to a deep desire to consecrate his life to his Master's service. His training as a carpenter and mechanic will make him of peculiar value on the Congo, where his sunny temperament will stand him in good stead."
He joined the East London Missionary Training Institute and sailed to the Congo, now Zaire, onboard the S.S. Leopoldville. Here he was to be responsible for the erection of the new steamer and steel canoes, which were being sent out to the Upper Congo River.

- Residence: 17 Mar 1968, 114 Bush Road, Mosgiel, New Zealand
Notes:
In the "Aitken's of Mosgiel" it has his date of death as 4 Apr 1941 and marriage date as 17 Mar 1968. This is clearly wrong as he would have died before he married. Stuart Park gives the date of death as 4 Apr 1971, but he also queries that date. Also Stuart gives marriage date as 17 Mar 1938
Francis was given a soldiers internment.
