Ritchie-1006 Elizabeth or Eliza Ritchie (Ritchey) is listed as a spinster on her marriage info. I have found much info for after her marriage to John James Beeler, but nothing from before. The Ritchie family was prominent in Nova Scotia but I can find no Elizabeth born in 1822 or thereabouts that would fit her into this family. All the usual sources do not list her parents. It is possible that she could be a recent Scottish immigrant.
