Sue - your following: George Ritchie & Isabella Wallace Bell ( married London 1854) - their children : James, Peter Bell, George, William Hay, Alexander Kerr, Wallace Bell, Jeanie P. Hoping someone... anyone ... can shed some light please. Regards Sue Hetherington While I am not directly from the RITCHIE lineage I am interested because of the following: James BELL b. 1788 Perth, m. Janet RITCHIE. They m.1819 St. Pauls' Church, Perth. Probably m. East Church Parish since that is where his sister m. in 1823. I have no info on Janet's birth, but think she was b.c1799. Who were her parents? Can anyone help me with this RITCHIE family? My lineage is from the sister of above James BELL b.1788. Jean ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
