All these possibilities and options are overwhelming!
On Ann's death extract, it has her as the widow of James Ritchie, ploughman, and her age as 70!
She died in 1903, in the Dundee Parochial Hospital, Maryfield, the same establishment that ev mentions. (I once attended a nearby school). Her age seems to vary a lot, but that that may be due to her state of mind at the time. One thing we can pretty much take for granted is that she was born in Ross-shire, in the Alness-Invergordon area, and James in Nairnshire
Ambly's Aberdeen scenario is interesting in that the difference in ages of James and Ann, of approx 26 years, appears again.
Ta for all the efforts, I shall tell my missus that my being glued for hours to IGI, Scotlands People, and this amazing site, is all your fault!
