James RIGBY on the 61 census

[Pennines]

I hadn't ignored James -- just couldn't find him.
I have searched the UK census records as a whole in 1861 - but could not find the James Rigby born Ireland (unless of course incorrect info had been supplied to the census enumerator).

This is why - when I saw the reference to a Court case on the birth cert for Mary Jane Low - I thought the Court records may well give James address.

It's him alright, James Rigby, Plasterer, Constitution Road, Aberdeen (on the 5th November 1862).

Still not found him in 1861 for sure (although there's a James Rigley knocking around!) ----BUT - in 1871 there is a James 'Riglay' in Brunswick St, Edinburgh --- aged 33, a Plasterer born Aberdeen, Fraserburgh

He has a wife Mary G. and 3 children;
William G aged 7
Christina S aged 3
Thomas aged 1

Just checked the marriage for James Rigby.

He married a Mary Gordon in Nov 1862 - his address 11 Constitution St Aberdeen.
Occupation Plasterer.
Father Thomas Rigby.

Thanks Pennines, well found  looks like he might have adopted Fraserburgh as his place of birth.

Hi

There is a tree on Ancestry which has extensive  details of James Fraser Rigby and they have attached a census for a John F  Ryly Plasterer born Fraserburgh living in 26mount Hooly Street Shetland

On the census in the same household is an Alexander Bissett born 1840 born Aberdeen also a plasterer, John Fraser born 1840 Aberdeen also a plasterer, John Laurence born 1842 Aberdeen plumber and Alexander Ingram b1838 Aberdeen Head of household and a plumber.


Perhaps you could try looking for these on SP and then looking at the original to see if it is your John Rigby who has been mistranscribed by Ancestry

I've attached a snip of the original census (indexed Rigly at SP). I don't know about you but that looks like John F Rigby to me, age - well if I was transcribing this I'd say 26 (indexed 20), place of birth Fraserburgh. So wrong age, place of birth and first name but definitely the right guy don't you think 

Thanks to everyone for helping me find my elusive Rigby.
