George H Ritchie migrated to USA 1927 with family from Scotland

[sandir03]

Hi, I'm trying to find any information on George H Ritchie and his family when they moved from Scotland to the USA.

     George Herschell Ritchie was born about 1886 in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. His parents were John Ritchie and Agnes Sturrock.

     George married Annie Davidson in 1912 in Arbroath and went on the have 3 sons (that I know about) all born in Arbroath  -
      1. James Davidson Ritchie  b. 1912
      2. George Herschell Ritchie Jr  b. 02 Feb 1914
      3. Eric Herschell Ritchie  b. 1917 ( I have found him mentioned as Alexander in one record)

      They all migrated to USA in 1927 on Ship Name: Transylvania  and I have found them in Massachusetts.

      In the 1930 USA Census -
           Event Place: Quincy, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States

Household        Role   Sex              Age   Birthplace
George H Ritchie       Head   Male      43          Scotland    Electric welder - car shapes
Annie Ritchie           Wife   Female 42          Scotland

James D Ritchie           Son   Male      17          Scotland    Office boy - telephone directory Co
George H Ritchie Jr.   Son   Male      16           Scotland    None
Alexander H Ritchie    Son    Male   13           Scotland    None


       In the 1940 USA Census -
                  Event Place: Ward 2, Quincy, Quincy City, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States

Household            Role   Sex          Age   Birthplace
Annie Ritchie   Head   Female   53   Scotland   Widow

James Ritchie   Son   Male            27   Scotland   Labourer - Sidewalk project
George Ritchie   Son   Male            26   Scotland  ?fitter - Shipyard
Eric Ritchie   Son   Son   Male            23   Scotland   Toolmaker - Shipyard


As Annie is a widow in the 1940 Census I assume George has died between 1930 and 1940 - can't find anything about him during this time.

What happened to Annie after 1940? When/where did she die?

Did any of the sons marry in the USA, have children and stay there or move to another country.

Any information on this family and their lives and occupations in the USA would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Sandi
