Hi I am looking to find the parents of James Aitken born 28 Jul 1893 in Paddington, London, England. Can anyone direct me to where I can find out their names? I have pictures of him in our old family albums and know he is related, but I am having trouble finding the connection. I think the name of his parents would help me.
Thank you

Well done Bert, I always get confused around the districts of London, but you seem to have connected the dots.
