Hi
I'm struggling with one of the earliest people on one of my trees
John Riglar appears to have been baptised 1715 to parents Daniel and Ann in Powerstock
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V5JF-V5Z
I'm looking for any more info on his parents, I've found a marriage in Dorset dated 1712 for a Daniel Riglar marrying a Jane
other trees on ancestry seem to have mixed the 2 pieces of info up, is there anywhere else I can search to find out if the father of John is the same person that ?married Jane (maybe she died and he married again?) or any way of finding a marriage for a Daniel Riglar and Anne
any help appreciated as always

Hi
first off are you sure Daniel and Ann are his parents? There was another John baptised same year
John Rigler baptised 18th September 1715 Powerstock parents Henry and Jane . Have you any names in the family that might match either set of parents?That might point us in the right direction.

thanks for the reply and help
looking at my John again I can't say for sure why I assumed he was the son of Daniel (although I couldn't find the other John on familysearch)
my John had one son I know of called Henry so I need to go back and check thoroughly

Hi,
A useful site for a great variety of Dorset records, not just parish registers:

I am struggling with John RIGLAR too.
Which John?
There were two John Riglers born in 1715 in Powerstock.
(i) John Rigler - baptized on 18 Sep 1715 - Son of Henry and Jane RIGLER
(ii) John Rigler - baptized on 8 May 1715 - Son of Daniel and Anne RIGLER
In the Powerstock Overseers Accounts that are on Dorset OPC.
PAID THE POOR OF POWERSTOCK (POORSTOCK)
April 8th 1757 Pd the Lord’s rent for John Riglar £ 0 1 s 0? d
August 28 th 1757 Gave John Riglar’s wife £0 2s. 0d.
September 25th 1757 Gave John Riglar’s Wife £0 1s. 0d.
November 20th 1757 Gave Anne Riglar Widow £0 1s. 0d.
PD THE POOR OF NETTLECOMBE
December 19th 1756 Gave Anne Riglar £ 0 1 s 0 d
April 6th 1757 Pd Anne Riglar £ 0 5 s 0 d
So from this I conclude that John Riglar that married Ann Berry died between 25th Sep 1757 and 29th Nov 1757. She died in 1758. I have not seen a record for his death.

Hello Peter,
Are you interested in Lydia Rigler baptised 4 March 1745 in Powerstock daughter of John Rigler 1715-1984 and Edith Walbridge 1709-1776 that married William Walbridge 1737-1815 on 4 Jul 1764 in Powerstock.

Hi Trudy,
Yes that is my family line that I am researching. I want to trace back from William and Lydia but are interested in getting a lead on the birth date of James Walbridge one of the children of this marriage. James was mentioned in William's will but I have not been able to find a birth date for him anywhere, only that when he died in 1839 his age on the grave stone was 73.
James is my direct ancestor.
You may be of some help if you are in the same family.
Regards
Peter
