Arthur Fielding and Dorothy Ann Marshall Ritzema married at the Register office in South Shields on 25th December 1902.
Arthur died 14th Feb 1914 also in Shields. I cannot find out what happened to Dorothy or if there were any children. Does this family ring any bells? Dorothy's parents were John Ritzema and Elizabeth Marshall; Arthur's were William Fielding and Elizabeth Forster or Foster,

Hello
I have been spending a wet Sunday afternoon doing some research and found by chance your query. On a handwritten family tree of my husbands, there is a Lilly Marshall who married John Ritzema, who had a daughter Dora who married a Fielding and it looks as if they had a daughter Doris. It is very hard to read the name of Doris's husband (can only read HAR) but seems they had a son, John who has Colchester by his name. This may not be any help but am interested to hear more in case it is the same family tree. Gendy Ritzema (married to John Ritzema

Thank you Bryan. This fills in the parts I have on paper re my husband's family tree, but could not read. We have not really got in to genealogy in a big way, but this makes it quite exciting. Each family must have had a John Ritzema it would seem. I am now trying to work out just what the relationship is between my husband and the lady who posted the query in 2006. Gendy
