1891 & 1901 Ritchie Look up please

[geordielass]

Hi, 
 I am trying to trace  Joseph & Elizabeth Ritchie after 1881 Census,  could SKS please do a look up please.

In 1881
Joseph 29 & Elizabeth Ritchie 28 (nee Wilson)
Thomas Ritchie 5
George Wilson Ritchie 3
Annie Isabella 1 month

lived at Burn Cottages  Long Benton

Joseph's occ was Cellarman

I have looked every where,  I wonder if they went to Ireland as I had a free trial of Ancestry and found a entry for a Caroline Wilson b.1881 Belfast Antrim
Fathers name George Wilson
Mothers name Elizabeth Ritchie Wilson

 Elizabeth's maiden name was Wilson and thought it may have a connection.   Maybe Joseph died and Elizabeth remarried.

Appreciate any help

Regards

Can you always include their birthplaces please - 1881 shows all b Newcastle Northumberland

I can't see them in 1891

Maybe Joseph died and Elizabeth remarried

Have you checked freebmd for a death/re-marriage  www.freebmd.org.uk

As Joseph was alive in 1881 - a death/remarriage/birth of Caroline all in 1881 are a bit improbable

Possible death??

Joseph Ritchie aged 40 September qtr 1893  Newcastle upon Tyne 10b  95

 On 1891 census the family is at 42 Elswick Rd, Westgate, Newcastle.

So no challenge finding them eh???

Well done Michael - I spent ages using all permutations but that beats the lot

Looking at the image - I sympathise with the transcriber - looks like Hitchen or Kitchen

Now - for 1901 (I think Geordie Lass & I have Elizabeth post 1901)

Additional children on 1891 as follows - all b Newcastle:

Dorothy 7
Elizabeth 5
Christina 3
James W 1 died June qtr 1891
Alexander A 1

1901 - Dorothy is a servant in Newcastle

Carole,

 I also tried many search permutations until I struck lucky with " george w "

 Transcriber also made it more difficult by transcribing the enumerator's abbrev. of Elizabeth ie Elizt, as Eliza.

Hi  CaroleW & Michael..........Many thanks to all for your help,   sorry for the late reply but hubby not too well.

He has shingles and and in a lot of pain and being in a paralysed in a wheelchair after a stroke it is harder for him to get comfortable.
