My grandfather was called Robert Worthington Rigby. he lived in Accrington 1877-1946. he had brothers Arthur,Doctor,Herbert, all named Worthington Rigby, and two sisters, Grace and Elizabeth hannah. The family lived in Marsden St. It appears likely that the lads got thjeir middle name becauise they were fathered by James Worthington, who at that time was not married to Mrs Rigby.

I have recently come across people who are related to me through the Wiorthington Rigbys, and wonder if there are any more folk in the area who are descended from the Rigbys.
