That is fantastic! Thank you so much! The Wilkinson surname makes sense because htere is a WIlkinson Rigg aged 12 on the 1901 census born to Isaac and Agnes. Im off to get copies of the originals now!

Hi,

My name is Rachel Hughes. I know that my great grandfather John Rigg was born in the farmhouse at Harry Place (approx. mid 1800s). His father Andrew Thomson Rigg was the farm manager at the time. Andrews wife was Jane Rigg (Walker) and John's wife was Esther White. John Rigg emigrated to New Zealand and had a chocolate importing business with JD Whittaker who went on to start the famous (in NZ) Whittakers Chocolate company. John Riggs son Theodore bought a property in New Zealand which is still owned by my family (14 of us) and he named that property Harry Place after the Harry Place farm in Ambleside.

Hi HRH and welcome to RootsChat, the person who posted the query hasn't been on RootsChat for 15 years unfortunately, so you are unlikely to get a reply.

Hi Rachel,

Welcome to RootsChat :)

I am sorry but we lost contact with this member a few years ago and we are no longer able to notify them of new replys, however we do get old members regularly asking for us to update their old contact details. By leaving your message it is here if they return or we get another person also searching for this family line.

Good Luck !

Regards

Sarah ;)
