If this is your James Alfred Richie I have found then if you buy some credits for Scotlands people you can download the image and it would give you where he was born and both his mother and fathers name.

Karon
A shame you deleted your query ref Alfred Ritchie from my thread as I also found the family and would have told you that Amelia(mother and all children were born in England.
I also looked at 1861 and found the family in Cornwall as follows:

Antony,Cornwall
John Ritchie Head 35 Seaman b Scotland
Amelia Ritchie Wife 30 Laundress b Torpoint,Cornwall
Betsy Ritchie Daur 6 Scholar b Torpoint
Amelia Ritchie Daur 4mths b Torpoint

Hi Karon

I searched all births on SP between 1865 - 1875 for Alfred Ritchie/Richie. There are 5 listed, none of them in Glasgow though and only 1 has a father's name of James......this James was a shoemaker in Dundee, so unlikely to be your Alfred's birth.

Barbara can find Alfred in 1881. I know his father was a widow by 1881 and wasn't living with his father who was in lodgings in 1881 in Glasgow {port}. .
Thanks Karon

Alfred James Ritchie born 1870-1872 Glasgow detail from 1881 census and marriage. father James Ritchie born Edinburgh, slater by trade in 1881 census and on Alfred's marriage certificate to Jessie Emma chambers 1892. If i order possible there maybe more than one with these details James very very common name in Scotland and not even sure of James job at time of Alfred's birth. Any help please should i order birth certificate or will i end up with two many. karon
