[RIGB621] William Rigby m. Catherine . [RIGB632] Mary Rigby m. [VOSE631] Thurstan Vose
8. [RIGB621] William Rigby (son of William) and Catherine had six children born at St. Helens and baptised there at the New Chapel Independent as follows:
7. [RIGB632] Mary (baptised 8th September 1736) see later;
William (baptised 31st January 1737-38);
John (baptised 5th November 1739);
Ann (baptised 11th September 1741);
Giles (baptised 12th December 1743);
an unnamed daughter (15th baptised March 1745-46).
There were two William Rigby's who married a Catherine at Wigan in the 1730's. Assuming these were not the same William, then the first marriage (to Catherine Gaskill, 2nd October 1732) could relate to this St. Helens family, whilst the second marriage (to Catherine Winson, 23rd September 1739) could relate to the family at Billinge who had children 1742-46.
Catherine died at Huyton (buried at Rainford, 30th May 1789), and William (a husbandman) died at Knowsley (buried at Rainford, 20th July 1791).
7. [RIGB632] Mary Rigby (born 1736, daughter of William) married (at Rainford, 21st August 1754) [VOSE631] Thurstan Vose (born 1729, see VOSE), a husbandman.
