Have I skipped a generation in Alexander Aiken's parentage? Is Michael P Aiken his gf?

[S R Eglesfield]

Alexander Aiken is the second son of the late Michael Patrick AIKEN, MBE (5 I 1939 - 24 III 2019) and his wife (married c.1965, possibly in her native Germany?), Sigrid Irmgard ("Sigi") LANGE (born 8 III 1944).
