splus Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 You're right. There are millions of Rigbys in St Helens. My grandmother was a Rigby and I am really struggling to get far with that side of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belgium Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Anyone know of a Henry Rigby Johnson lived in Parr and then Sutton. Died approx 1974? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towny Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The Rigby name really is a common name in St. Helens, My grandparents on my mothers side were Rigby's and it seems the males of the family all worked down the pit, accept one who became a surgeon.( Go figure)..

thyme Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 My Grandfather was Henry Rigby and was married to Margaret Dennett, Its not the Henry you are looking for but just another Rigby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belgium Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Anyone know of a Henry Rigby Johnson lived in Parr and then Sutton. Died approx 1974? Thank you for replying. I have just found out his name Rigby is actually his middle name not a surname. Info is a bit confusing on this side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
