Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find information on the following:
Charles Ritchie b: 22/12/1936 St Cuthberts, d: 29/08/1919 married Grace Pratt Aitken 7/4/1866. He was a solicitor in the supreme court and
their son,
Charles Ronald Ritchie b: 04/01/1884, d: 17/4/1944 married Mary Watson 21/07/1913. He was a Writer to the Signet.
thanking you in anticipation.
regards
Christine

Have you tried the IGI, SP or the trades directory?
I do not know anything about these directories, but I do believe that there is a link to them at the front of Scotland General. Or maybe write to the council offices, I managed to obtain copies of the Lord provosts from both Edinburgh and Glasgow in this way.
I would check sp for you but until after the 13th this month I have no credits.

Hi chrisofmelb,
Charles was born 22 Dec 1836 St Cuthberts, Edinburgh to parents William Ritchie and Margaret Brown, found on IGI as a submitted record. IGI also has marriage on an extracted record.
Did they move from Edinburgh?

Hi Marcie,
I have all the information from Scotlands People so please do not waste your credits. I will follow up with the council offices regarding his registration as a solicitor. Thank you for your help.
kind regards
