Yes must be correct family as US border crossings Canada to US in 1928 gives

Elsie Strachan Ritchie 33 place of birth Peterhead
John 9
James Winton 7
Elsie 5

I think William immigrated 1923 per the 1930 census so must have gone first.

John born 6 Sep 1918 death Sep 1970
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos
