More About Alexander Ritchie and Mary Peden (afterwards Webster):
Marriage: 4 April 1884, Hutchesontown, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Marriage Notes for Alexander Ritchie and Mary Peden (afterwards Webster):
In the marriage certificate it states that Alexander Ritchie, aged 20, (bricklayer) of 383 Rutherglen Road, Glasgow married Mary Peden, aged 19, (carpet winder) of 19 Polmadie Road, Glasgow on the 4th April 1884. The marriage seems to have taken place at the bride's house in Polmadie Road. The groom's parents are listed as Peter Ritchie (mineral sinker) (deceased) and Margaret Ritchie (Nee Balfour) (deceased). The bride's parents are listed as James Peden (iron work labourer) and Jane Peden (Nee McMillan).
Since writing these notes I have discovered that on Alexander's death certificate, the father's name was given as David Ritchie. I wonder how the name Peter could have been entered on the marriage certificate?
