Blue,What a puzzle,Ritchie/Rider.I,ll go to our local library and see if I can access the Rider history.I have a feeling that the family trees are not available for free.May have to join Ancestry.

Just realised I missed a bit of info out.

Thanks to all those who replied to my query.It sums up my own thoughts on the matter.Just an uncle gilding the lily a bit.
A merry christmas to all.Temperature here is warming up to a nice 24 deg C in time for christmas.
