The correct full name of AITKEN is
George Graham Aitken.
Two friends of mine in Scotland helped me to find the mistake :

’As for George Aitken, there was a mistake by Doug Lamming which has now been corrected. He found George Gilbert Miller Aitken born in Cowdenbeath 1926 (and died 1988) but this was the wrong man. The correct name is George Graham Aitken, 1925-2003.’ (link: )
