Frances M. Thompson Ritchie
I have an old studio photograph identified as Frances RITCHIE of 2275 Bryant, San Francisco, CA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with Frances likely in her 20’s at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Frances and her family:
Frances M. THOMPSON was b. 3 Jan 1884 in New Zealand to parents Andrew George THOMPSON (1831-1921) and Margaret THOMPSON (1861-1913). Frances was one of 5 children born to this couple including Bert; Frances M.; Amelia Blanch; Edith Maud; and Emily THOMPSON, all born between 1881 and 1892. Frances immigrated to the United States in 1900 or 1901 and lived in San Francisco. Frances married Raymond “Ray” J. RITCHIE (died 1952) and they had a son Rinaldo Francis RITCHIE (1920-2006).
Frances died 20 Mar 1974 in San Francisco, CA and is buried in the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Colma, CA. Frances’ obituary lists her surviving family members including a son Rinaldo “Ray” Francis RITCHIE; grandchildren James, Kathleen, and Marian RITCHIE and Frances ROHRER; great-grandson Joseph ROHRER and mother-in-law to Marian RITCHIE.
I would like to get the photograph to her family and appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley

I am currently researching My wife's mother's maiden name of Ritchie. I don't have much info, looking for more. This is what I have:
Alexander Ritchie, born July 9,1823 in Glasglow, Scotland. He was the son of James and Margaret Ritchie. He was a blacksmith by trade and a artist by hobby. He married Jane Reavis, daughter of Robert Reavis in 1842 or 1843. They came to America inbefore 1857. First record of ownership of land is in 1857, where he bought a farm in Pilot's Knob Knoll, Crawford County, Indiana. The house he built there still stands today. Alexander and Jane had six children. Jane died in 1863, Alexander then married Margaret Newkirk in 1863, they had no children. She died in 1864. Alexander then married Malnda Huffer in 1865. They had nine children. Alexander died in 1901 and Malinda died in 1900, they are both buried at Pilot's Knobb Knoll Cemetery. I have more info on most of the children. Would like to know more info on Alexander's ancestors, all info would be appreciated as well as info on the children's descendants.
