Hi listers,

I am searching a William AITKEN, born in 1779gh-1780, in Edinburgh and
married to Mrs WALKER; I don't know her given-name. This man was a medical
doctor .

In OPR 6856-1/52-54 p350 ( Marriages 1787-1821, Parish Edinburgh ) I found
that:

" William Aitken, mason, NewGreyfriars Parish and Jane Walker, sama Parish,
daughter of the deceased John Walker, fariner Parish Linlithgow."

I denied that couple because the man was declared as a mason like a brick
layer or anybody building houses, for me. Sorry, I am not Scot., is it
another meaning?
