Birth in Russia 1895
I've just discovered the bap. in St. Petersburg of a previously unknown son of a Scottish couple who went to St. Petersburg to help start a thread factory. I found the bap. on the IGI pilot site.
Charles David RIDDEL bap. 20 Oct. 1895 St. Petersburg Russia, parents Charles Robert Riddel and Jessie McGill. The source is given as England and Wales non con baptisms RG33_144. I've tried without success to find his birth in the overseas BMDs on familyrelatives.com. Can anyone else find him please, and any trace of the family's journey to Russia?
