Orkney / Re: James & Elizabeth Foulis' children
« on: Sunday 03 March 13 21:25 GMT (UK) »
Hi, Blake
Actually, I mis-typed - David Ritch is my 2nd great grandather and he married Elizabeth Foulis on July 27, 1865. Unfortunately, I don't have any more information about Elizabeth Foulis Ritch and James Foulis' parents (Elizabeth and James), but I have an ancestry.ca membership so I will have a look and get back to you if I can find any census records for them.
I was recently in Orkney and my cousin took me to see the Covenanter's Memorial in Deerness. During a family holiday in Orkney Fiona Sutherland (1968-) paid a visit to the memorial as it was partly built by her husband's (John Sutherland, my cousin) Great-Great Grandfather David Ritch (1843-1923). David was born in Deerness and was a mason by trade. At the time the memorial was built he was farming at Daisybank (28 acres- 10 arable). Daisybank is the ruined house on the left hand side of the track on the walk down to the memorial and is the house nearest the memorial. He died at Kitchen of Brecks in June 1923.
Have a look at http://www.robertwhitton.eu Robert has a lot of valuable information about the Ritch line.
If I find anything about James and Elizabeth Foulis.
Take care,
L.
