Hi Chris have PM you.
Thanks Shirley have all information forward off this, still have trouble, proving his birth in Scotland.
my family says he was born in Invergordon Scotland. Name: Alfred Ritchie
Age: 21
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871
Spouse Name: Jessie Chambers
Spouse Age: 19
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 28 Feb 1892
Parish: Woolwich Holy Trinity

Hi Chris same family :-D

Scotlands People doesn't show any birth for an Alfred Ritchie anywhere in Scotland 1866 - 73.

There are loads of James Ritchies born throughout Scotland in that same time frame, but none with middle name Alfred.

No James or Alfred Ritchies born in Ross & Cromarty in that time, let alone Invergordon in particular.

Two James Ritchies born in Dundee - you'll have to buy credits on SP to view the details:

RITCHIE
JAMES
M
1870
282/4 383
St Andrew (Dundee)



RITCHIE
JAMES
M
1872
282/4 27
St Andrew (Dundee)

Unfortunately the mother's maiden surname can't be used as a search term for births after 1854 on SP.


One Alfred Ritchie born in Dundee:

RITCHIE
ALFRED
M
1868
282/2 851
St Mary

Presumably that's the one you mention in your opening post.

So from above query (found on google) seems below is possible for Father?...
