  • Name: Aickin, James
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date: 1737
  • Death Date: 17  March  1803
  • Occupation: actor

Godwin seems to distinguish Aickin from Aikin reasonably consistently; and the circles in which Aickin appears are one's linked mostly to the theatre. Also, references to Aickin cease after 1799, when he had a mild stroke, although this did not stop further appearances on the stage. 'Aickins' appears in the 1787, but is crossed out. It is unclear why, or what this means.
