    not sure how much of this you have but here goes my initial scan :

    1901 census
    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Fermanagh/Irvinestown/Brownhill/1355110/


    1911 census
    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Sligo/Ballymote/Carrownanty/752455/


    there is a tree on Ancestry (owner Rebecca Ritchie) suggesting they were from Scotland but the census records above above don't support this. Evangeline's maiden name given as Collins.The tree has Arthur Cecil Robinette Ritchie deceased 1960 in Turkey.

    Entry re Arthur at the NA :

    http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=144-pa101_2-2&cid=-1#-1

    The husband Joseph David Ritchie is shown as deceased 1935 but nothing re Evangeline's death.

    The daughter Evangeline Susanah Victoria Ritchie appears to have married in Dundalk registration district in 1931 (LDS records).

    her birth record on LDS has her as Evangelina daughter of Toro Collins and Anne Payne. I think the father is Zorobabel Collins :

    the entry for the daughters in 1911 re deafness is quirky

    Thank you for the help guys !!I am not familiar with county antrim.

    But figuring the person Died in 1935 I was digging for an obituary or something to that effect.

    As annal as they can be with the Kew archives records some general or something must have had some records pulled. An ancestor of the COllins Family was a quartermaster in the 5th Royal Irish dragoons. An Article on Gideon Ouseley mentioned that Mrs. Josepoh David Ritchie possed the military history of Zoro Robinett of Tullamore, kings from the 1770's.

    Like alot of this it's a dectective slash -history hunt.

    thanks all !!

    there is a second Ritchie tree with some of the same info. No death for Evangelina but the subsequent generations seem to be dying off in a wide area.

    There is an entry in the Rylands archive for Wesleyan Methodist Minister Joseph D Ritchie who commenced preaching 1889 and died 1935 which might lead to further info

    http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/specialcollections/collections/methodist/using/indexofministers/r/

    might be worth emailing the archivist

    http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/specialcollections/collections/methodist/


    another mention of Joseph

    http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cotyroneireland/churchrecord/ministers-meth.html

    A search in the Irish Times archive for "Methodist Church" Ritchie brings up an Obituary heading. I've not got a subscription so cannot confirm if this is for Joseph Ritchie.

    Why can you not do this yourself? It seems to me with your many many posts that you don't want to do the work yourself. Johnny and others have been really helpful to you. You can join ancestry for 2 weeks for free as long as you remember to cancel it before the end of the period.

    And after the 2 weeks are up and you cancel you still get to keep your tree online and send/receive PMs :)
