My great-grandfather was Alexander Aikens born in 1858 and he lived in Cumberland (Maryport, Ellenborough, Workington). I am looking for more information about his family, particularly his ancestors. I am wondering if he had other family (brothers, sisters, parents) in Cumberland. I'm also wondering if he changed his name from Aiken. The information I have is that both he and his wife Hannah Teresanov, were born in Scotland, but I haven't found anything additional about them. If you know anything more, I'd love to hear from you! I have some information about his children, at least two of whom emmigrated to the US.
