HI, I'M LOOKING FOR HELP WITH MY GRANDAD JAMES RITCHIE FAMILY SIDE. I FOUND ON MY GRANDADS WEDDING CERTIFCATE THAT 1 OF HIS WITNESSES WAS A CHARLES RITCHIE. I THINK MAYBE THEY WERE BROTHERS I KNOW HE DID HAVE 1 OR MORE. I DONT HAVE A DOB BUT A SEARCH ON HIS NAME WOULD BE GREAT. I KNOW HE LIVED AT 74 SEEDHILL ROAD IN PAISLEY THE YEAR OF THE WEDDING IN 1948. THANX HAYLEY
