Eleanor Rigby/Facebook.
Posted: 30 Jul 2017 07:15
I'm not a member of Facebook or this societies Facebook group.
I somehow tripped over an enquiry on the group page and I hope this is of some little help.
The enquiry by Tony W seems to centre around Eleanor Rigby's headstone and who is, Doris W, daughter of F & E Rigby. I think the question being asked, is she the daughter of Eleanor Rigby?
The most likely parents of Doris W Rigby are as already been suggested by Alex (Facebook)
Frederick Rigby & Elsie M Rigby, nee Whitfield. married 1923.
Doris W Rigby being on the headstone is because of family connections from both sides , Rigby & Whitfield.
I can provide dates and ref numbers later if required,
John Rigby (Headstone, Father) his daughter Mary Elizabeth Rigby married Arthur Whitfield, they had a daughter, Eleanor Rigby Whitfield.
John Rigby had a brother Thomas Rigby, sons of William Rigby.
Arthur Whitfield had a brother Amos Whitfield, sons of Charles Whitfield.
Amos Whitfield's daughter, Elsie M Whitfield married Thomas Rigby's grandson, Frederick Rigby.
Certificates that are not online needed for confirmation.
