Ritchie/Ramsay/Baldy/Dickie/Low
« on: Saturday 14 February 09 06:05 GMT (UK) »
Hi everone,

Looking for info on James Ritchie born abt. 1851 in Newburgh.  Father was Alexander Ritchie and Isabella Baldie.  Any info on the family and extensions would be appreciated.  Also looking for a photograph of the Roundlaw Plougman's Cottage near Trinity Gask - my grandfather James Ritchie (b. 1901) was born there.  Any help would be appreciated.

Ian

Hello Wendy,

Yes, they are my Baldy/Bauldie/Baldie line.  Isobel Baldy married Alexander Ritchie (born 1810 in Crieff).  They had a son James born abt. 1851 in Newburgh died 1930 in Auchterader.  It is through this line that I am tied.  One of my stumbling blocks is the absence of a birth entry for James Ritchie and another is a difficulty in getting back further than Alexander Ritchie.

On the Baldie side I have been able to go back as follows:

John Baldie and Janet Black - married prior to 1674:  I have no information on Janet Black.
David Baude b. 12 Aug 1683 St Andrews Fife,
Margaret Baldie b 06 Dec 1674 St Andrews Fife,
John Baldie b 24 Jun 1677 St Andrews Fife,
Elizabeth Baldie b 26 May 1680 St Andrews Fife

David Baude married Elizabeth Aitken on 09 Apr 1699 at Ceres,  I am seeking information on Elizabeth Aitken's origins - she was born abt 1683 in Fife.
Davide Baude b abt. 1699 Fife,
Margaret Baude b 22 Jan 1703 Ceres Fife,
John Baude b 20 Dec 1705 Ceres Fife,
James Baldie b 17 Jun 1708 Ceres Fife,
Ronald Bauldie b 10 Sep 1710 Ceres Fife

David Baude (Jnr) married Margery Alison b abt. 1706 in Fife on 08 Dec 1722 at Ceres.  I have no informtion on Margery Alison:
Robert Baldie b 10 Mar 1731 Ceres Fife,
George Baldie b 12 Jan 1735 Ceres Fife

Robert Baldie married Isobel Foramen b abt 1734 in Craig, Angus??? on 01 Jun 1764 at Ceres.  I have no further information on Isobel Foramen.
John Baldy b 15 Jul 1767 Ceres Fife,
Marjory Baldie b 13 Jun 1765 Ceres Fife,
Margaret Baldie b 04 Nov 1769 Ceres Fife,
Mary Baldie b abt. 1772,
Isobel Baude b 06 Dec 1772 Ceres Fife,
David Baldie b 08 May 1777 Ceres Fife,
Agnes Baldie b abt 1785 Ceres Fife

John Baldy married Catherine Hean (no information on Catherine at all) on 08 Jan 1791 at Ceres Fife.
William Fernie Baldy b 07 Nov 1792 Largo Fife,
Robert Baldy b 04 Feb 1791 Largo Fife,
Catharine Baldy b 07 Nov 1792 Largo Fife

Which brings us back to William Fernie Baldy and Elizabeth Pride.  I have no information on Elizabeth Pride.

Ideally I would like to track the female lines for which I mostly don't have much information on.  Are you connected to the Baldy line?

Ian

Hello Diddy,

Thanks for the info.  Are you able to go back past Alexander Ritchie?  I looked at James Ritchie and Jean Roy who married 14 Dec 1800 at Crieff but it doesn't feel right, or am I discounting the right line?

Ian

only clues are the 1841:

jean ritchie  60

and the fact the 1861 has him born 1818 in Auchtermuchty.

i will have a look today. one of the other names that jumps out at me is Elizabeth Aitkin - i have Aitkin ancestors myself from that area.
