Thanks for replying to my Monumental Inscriptions. I did find a death of James AITKIN through the Scotlands people, i think this could be him. Just thought someone could have had the monumental inscription before i sent the £10 for the certificate to make sure. It is held at the Marine Register so it looks like he was lost at sea. I did ask what Marine Register meant, a few days ago, and got a couple of answers explaining it. Going to have to get an extension in this mind of mine to store it all. Any way made my mind up to send for it, just hope it is the right one. Thanks again for all your help. George
