Many thanks janfurness, sgs28, trish1120, stan,
Good leads for me to follow up on. I did have Joseph Ritchie aged 40 Sept 1893 death as on his daughter Dorothy (Dora) Ritchie's marriage certificate he was deceased.
Stan....I did think George Wilson Ritchie could have been serving in the services, now to go and search.
janfurness, I think below is the family I have been looking for, thank you so much.
I have found a marriage between George W Ritchie and Margaret (Not Margate!) Maconochie Newcastle On Tyne December 1910. The record is on FreeBMD

The couple had two children-Margaret -June 1914 and Georgina W- Dec 1916
George Wilson Ritchie's birth was registered Sept 1877. Once again thank you all so much for the help you have given me.
Best Regards
