Hi Meg, Margaret, and Lindel, etc., First I'd like to apologize for misreading Meg's information. I'll go back to having my ancestors as: William and Mary Ann (?) HANNAH Andrew and Isabellaa (?) RITCHIE And, then I'd like to thank you for the new information you're providing. I need to summarize it and then find out about the towns you are mentioning. (I found out that there is a new Atlas for "Great Britain and Ireland" being sold, and I'll go to a book store in my area and see if they are selling it. I need to find out more about the towns and counties in the United Kingdom.) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)
