Trying to find place of birth for Jane Rigby (nee Southworth)in 1911 census. Jane is inconsistent in naming the places she was born in all previous census. Mawdesley, Wrightington and Shevington.
Jane Southworth was born 1869/1870.
I found her in the 1911 index and her family, residing in Bolton, Lancashire but don't have access to the image.
Walter Rigby 1872 age 39 Bolton
Jane Rigby 1870 age 41 Bolton
John Hothersall 1895 age 16 Bolton
Hoping someone carry narrow this down for me.
Thank you.

The 1911 census is pay per view for everyone unless you visit Kew. So it is unlikely that anyone can help at the moment.

Hi Nell,
I know I won't be able to visit Kew as I am in USA, but curious to know what Kew is. Thanks.

Hi Iggy
Kew is home to the The National Archives, the UK government's official archive. It is situated in Kew, Richmond, Surrey.

Have you had a play about on the 1911 census,by putting in any of those places of births with a Jane Rigby and her year of birth,you should be able to see which one she put down as the place of birth this time!
Alternatively,if you don't wish to pay £6-95 for a couple of images,you could wait till later this year when FindMyPast promises us that they'll be on some sort of subscription basis.

carol,
I thought of that too and it looks like Shevington- if you enter that she comes up ;D
Iggy- who are her parents?
There are these:
1871 Wrightington parents John and Ewalda (Everilda)
1881 Wrightington parents John and Everilda
1881 (born 1872) Mawdsley parents John and Elizabeth :-\
1891 Shevington -mother Everilda
1891 b 1872 Mawdsley parents John and Elizabeth
1901 b 1872 Mawdsley parents John and Elizabeth
I can't find a Jane b Wrightington/Shevington or as Rigby in 1901 :-\
But I found Jane Hothersall b Mawdesley which just messes it all up ::)

Marriage of a Jane Hothersall to Walter Rigby in 1909 at Mawdsley Street Chapel, Bolton.
She was previously married to a Richard Hothersall in 1891 at Chorley.

Hi Carol....thank you for the hint of playing with the census. I came up with Shevington too.
Heywood...thank you for checking all the census.
Mo....thank you for the marriage place of Jane Hothersall to Walter Rigby. That is great. I didn't have that.
OK....here goes.
Jane Southworth's parents are John Southworth 1833-1890 and Everilda Cowley 1830-1908. Both from Mawdesley.
Jane in the census- places born:
1871-Wrightington
1881-Wrightington
1891-Shevington
1901-Mawdesley(Married to Richard Hothersall. 1st marriage)
1911-Shevington (Married to Walter Rigby. 2nd marriage)
In 1861 - parents living in Standish.
In 1871 - Jane and parents living in Wrightington
Lancashire BMD Index has birth 1869 sub-district Standish.
So was she born in Wrightington or Shevington? I think in 1901 hubby may have put down Mawdesley. I have not been successful in finding her baptism record.
Thanks everyone for all your help. Getting closer! :)
Cheers,
Iggy
