1856
Marriage of Jessie Aitchison to Henry Cole
This
is the marriage certificate of George Musgrove's aunt Jessie Aitchison to
Henry Cole. They were living at Princes
Street but soon moved to Charlotte
Street with the young George Musgrove. The witnesses of the marriage
are Jessie's
father. George Aitchison the cabinet maker and Ellen Isaacs
Aitchison who was the wife of Jessie's brother John. A sad
footnote is that
Jessie's mother Margaret died 26 days earlier
on May the fifth of Bronchitis she
was at the family home in Princes
Street
her
husband
George was present, she was 64 years old so she was born in
Scotland
in 1792. You may notice the odd spelling of the name Jessie on
the certificate it
was
common
practice
that
any word with a double 'S' the first 'S' was written as an F.
Therefore Jessie would be written as JEFSIE.
