Re: Ashton heath farm

William Rigby 1838 of the Ashton Heath farm was related to Thomas Rigby of the Town Green farm. He can be found working for his uncle Henry at the Town Green farm on the 1871 census. You'll need Ancestry.co.uk to view the census link. Rigby's also owned Low Bank farm in the 1860's. I'd be confident of all of them being related in some way.
