Thanks for this, Retlaw. There appears to be some doubt as to his father's name, which is why he has Worthington in it, though his mother was Rigby, nee Nutter. His reputed father was John Henry Worthington,who later married Mrs Rigby. It would be easy to see how his father's name would be recorded as Rigby if he had simply been asked 'What's your father's name?' RW Rigby died 17.1.46. Shall I find you a photo?
