PETTIE and RITCHIE relatives, around 1900-1950s
published by on Sat, 18/04/2020 - 14:30

I would welcome any information concerning my mother's maternal grandparents, Henry Vincent PETTIE, a tailor, and his wife Jane nee RITCHIE, who lived at 9 Jubilee Road, Weston, early in the 20th century. They had two daughters, my gran Annie Henrietta (Dolly) and her younger sister Catherine.

Also concerning three younger unmarried sisters of Jane called Johanna (Hannah), Agnes (Aggie) and Catherine (Kitty) Ritchie. Auntie Hannah and Auntie Aggie were still running a boarding house, Maycot at 12 Beaufort Road, when I went there on family holidays as a very young child in the 1950s. I also owe my existence to the sisters and Maycot, as it was where my father first met my mother.

Please see my notes under surname Ritchie for what I already know.

Thanks for your help!
