Does anyone know which church Rev. D. Ritchie Key/Kay [?] would be linked to in March, 1917.
Thanks.

Googling his name (Key) produced a ref. to the late 19th century, when he was at St Nicholas, Union Grove, Aberdeen (not the "Mither Kirk" of St Nicholas in the city centre - perhaps Free Kirk?)
To find him at a later date try looking in the Aberdeen Post Office Directories on the National Library of Scotland website.

Further to the information from Isabel, have a look at the follwing web page,

http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofpresbyt01smaluoft/historyofpresbyt01smaluoft_djvu.txt

scroll down to "ST NICHOLAS (BURGHER)", and read through to "Seventh Minister. D. RITCHIE KEY, M.A".

You wil get some information there.
There are also listed on the web, marriages which he performed at private addresses in Aberdeen.
