Find Ancestors

I'VE RECEIVED THE BIRTH CERT!!!! (Wow, a lot quicker than I thought it would be; God Bless you Royal Mail!!!!)

Thanks for all your help. Yes, was the Walter 'Riglee' entry! Details:

20th Sept 1883
Highmoor, Kinson

Mother: Sarah Rigler, Highmoor, Kinson
No details on 'Father'

Since Walter gave 'George Nippard' as his father on wedding cert, presume his parents are both Sarah and George?!

Just a case of working out George Nippard's relationship to Sarah - was she his step daughter?? Hope he wasn't her biological father??! Yeuk!

Eliza is transcribed Regular on Find My Past. Poor image.

Here is the Ancestry entry for the 1841 that Sally found - image is very poor. It could be Lydia Rigglar. The image shows her living with a family called Bury:

1841 England Census

Second paragraph of this transcription no 33 I wonder if this is Lydia but it says she is aged 9 and I can't find her on FMP if I put in her name.

Are we looking for Lydia Rigler in 1841?

Update us when you get the cert, Kelly.

Yes, I've ordered the 'Riglee' cert - the last one I ordered thought took a couple of weeks so not expecting it any time soon!

Sorry, Kelly, I cannot find anything else - no trace of the family on the 1851 and no Sarah in 1871

I think that 'Riglee' birth reg which Potty found will be the key! - Is that one on order?

Back to Lydia then...........

Thanks, but I already have a copy of the 1911 census.

Having looked at the witnesses, I believe they are 'work colleagues' and not related - no help there then.

Do you have them with children on 1911 or do you need me to post the details?

Sorry; marriage cert for Walter:

29th June 1907
Moordown Parish Church, Christchurch

Walter Rigler aged 23 Bachelor Carter
Ada Hockey aged 26 Spinster Laundress

Residence for both: Pineholm, Muccleshell Road

Walter's father: George Nippard, Labourer
Ada's father: William Hockey, Painter

Witnesses: Walter 'Cosser' (sp?) and Beatrice 'Barter' (sp?)

Dea, I can't find Lydia either. Just been for lunch so will carry on looking.

Yes Potty,

I have John in the 'House of Correction' on 1841 + Isabella + Mum (Salah) - Celia? in the Workhouse but I can't trace Lydia?

Isabella and her mother in 1841 - in Poole Union Workhouse (with another variation on Celia/Seler's name):

1841 England Census
about Isabella Rigtar
Name: Isabella Rigtar
Age: 1
Estimated birth year: abt 1840
Where born: Dorset, England

And this is possibly why they are in the workhouse:

Name: John Rigler
Age: 30
Estimated birth year: abt 1811
Gender: Male
Where born: Dorset, England

Civil parish: St Peter
Hundred: Dorchester Borough
County/Island: Dorset
Country: England

Street Address: Dorset County Gaol

Occupation: View image

Registration district: Dorchester and Cerne
Sub-registration district: Dorchester


Civil parish: Canford Magna
Hundred: Cogdean
County/Island: Dorset
Registration district: Poole
Sub-registration district: Poole

Name: Salah Riglar
Age: 25
Estimated birth year: abt 1816
Gender: Female
Where born: Dorset, England

Civil parish: Canford Magna
Hundred: Cogdean
County/Island: Dorset
Country: England

Thanks Potty,

That could well be John's marriage to Celia (Seler??) Troke - Lydia's mother.

Well done!

Could this be the Rigler/Choke connection?:

Marriages Dec 1838 (>99%)
BARTLETT Sarah Christchurch 8 263
HOLLOWAY Henry Christchurch 8 263
RICKLER John Christchurch 8 263
TROKE Seler Christchurch 8 263

And a possible previous marriage for John?:

JOHN RIGLAR Pedigree
Marriages:
Spouse: MARY SCOTT Family
Marriage: 23 MAY 1831 Great Canford, Dorset, England

Just checked through the thread again and you never did give us the details from Walter's marriage cert!

Everything please - including witnesses.

Thanks,

Dea x

Good morning Kelly.

A little better today thank you!.

Anyway, I am not sure that you will get any helpful info from that cert though - we need to work out how Lydia seems to have become a Troke?

Also we need Sarah on 1871.

I will keep at it!
