Hello Vera
That is strange for my grandfather married a Bateman but that was in the UK. Stanley is my father and he had a sister
named Norma. She died about 5 years ago. I believe my grandfather Harold James had a sister named Lilly or something like that. Unfortunately none of our riches that I know of was a patent lawyer. However I do know that my gg father was a cop in Dover. From what my father says as far as he knows that the Riches family have been in Dover for a long time. My grandmother nee Bateman came from Lancashire area. She was born in 1901 and spent most of her life in Dover working as a nurse. My grandfather Harold James was a post man. My dad Stanley married my mom in 1950 and moved to Canada 1952. They lived in Toronto and surrounding areas till they moved to Vancouver Island in 1989. Please let me know what you find out. Would be very interesting to know.
Vera did your side of the family originate in the U.K. I believe my grandfather's brother who lived in London just off Kensington High street had a daughter named Vera. Your name sounds familiar I shall ask my father and see if and what he can remember.Shall let you know. My e-mail addy is [email protected] if you wish to contact me by e-mail.
Cheers and let me know pls
