I am the son of Anne Marjorie Wrigg. My Father is Jose Viles.

I remember very clear Uncle Charles, Aunt Audrey, Joan and I spent a lot of time with my Aunt Win who was the oldest. Uncle Fred (Fearn) always has this jet black hair which was set with ....whats it called "Brilcream" I think and he was proud of washing it with soap. He smoked those aweful little cigarettes.

My Aunt Audrey was beautiful and I was very close to her. She lived in Zambia for awhile then came back. Her children are Tracey and James.

does all this sound right?

Hello,

I am Pere Josep Villez Son of Anne MArjorie Wrigg and Jose Viles Sole. Mum married my father Jose Viles Sole from Belloch in Catalunya, Spain. Anne Marjorie my mum died when we were very young form arteriosclerosis. It was cuased by a thrmobosis. Most of this family from the side of my mum suffered the same fate. My Brother and I are some of the few who survived. Some have suggested it was the lancashire diet etc etc.

Thay had two of us me Pere (Peter) and my brother Anthony Ramon. The surname is Viles and I changed it to Villez later though now I have adopted my mothers surname Wrigg.

The sisters and Brothers you list are right.

I have a Duagther whose name is Alba Chreode Villez. My Brother Anthony has no children as of yet and lives in Grand Canary. I would love to find more info myself on my family on the part of my mum.

Kind regards Pere

I don't know if they are related. I haven't got their names in my tree but they could be. Maybe you have more information about them.

possible linkage of some of your Wrigg family names to mine?

2006-07-16 11:17:00Z

Saw wrigg web site and intrigued by the wriggs out of Birkenhead and macclesfield. My wregg family were from Bentnick sts,Conway st, Thomas st Birkenhead all from an engineering background. cotton mills then Boiler /engine buildng and my grandfather and his brother were both cheif engineers on the blue funnel line and travelled to new york etc. Would like to see if we do have connections. I have been researching the Wregg name now for about 8 years and have quite a lot of firm info ,like to share. regards Steve wregg from Australia

Re: Elizabeth Southern nee Wrigg

2006-07-01 23:39:49Z

I think have a connection with this couple although I am not one of their descendants. My 2xgreat grandmother was the Sarah Ann Wrigg who is listed on the BMD section of this website as being born in Salford in 1847 and married to Charles Edward Swindell in Birmingham in 1873. Sarah's parents were Charles Thomas Wrigg (born ca 1810 in Manchester area) and Jane Davenport. There is an Elizabeth Wrigg living with the family on the 1841 census aged 20 (ages were round down in this census so she could have been born in 1818). Although relationships are not specified I am guessing she was my Charles's sister as she was too old to have been Charles and Jane's daughter. Do you know if this was indeed your Elizabeth and what the connection is? I would be interested to hear of any descendants you discover and would be happy to tell you more about my Wriggs.

Re: Elizabeth Southern nee Wrigg

2005-10-10 19:58:02Z

Thank you for that. Yes, I have just recently heard of this Elizabeth Southern. But our Elizabeth Southern nee Wrigg was not born until 1818.

ROBERT WRIGG

sheilabee1 — 2005-05-31 14:49:09Z

ROBERT WRIGG, [also Rigg and Wragg], worked in the cotton mills in Ashton under Lyne. Married to Millison PEARSON about 1832. Died in Buckley St, Ashton Town in 1866. He was 54 when he died so he must have been born around 1812.
He had 7 children that I know of: sons, John 1832, William 1835, James 1838, Thomas Pearson 1840, Samuel 1850: daughters Hannah 1843, Elizabeth 1847. I'm descended from James.
Does anyone have any information about Robert's birth and/or who his parents might have been? Whether he had siblings?

JOHN WRIGG b 1832 in Ashton u Lyne

sheilabee1 — 2005-05-31 14:49:09Z

Married Jane JONES. Children were Millison Ann b. 1857, John William b. 1860, William Henry b. 1864, Ann Jones b. 1867, all worked in cotton mills. Also Mary Jane b.1872, Bertha b.1874, Arnold b. 1877 and Jane b. 1878.
Ann, Bertha, Arnold and Jane were still living together about 20 years later, still in Ashton. John was my great, great grandfather's brother and I should like to find out what happened to this family. Does anyone know?

WILLIAM ?RIGG

sheilabee1 — 2005-05-31 14:49:09Z

In about 1810, a William ?rigg was living in Heyrod, Ashton under Lyne. I'm assuming his name was really WRIGG. He worked in manufacturing which probably meant in the cotton trade, given that later generations of the family worked in cotton. All I know was he lived with a female, whether this was his wife or his sister, I don't know. Does anyone know where to I'd need to look to find out further information about him or his family?

WILLIAM WRIGG [also RIGG] b 1835 in Ashton u Lyne

sheilabee1 — 2005-05-31 14:49:09Z

Parents were ROBERT WRIGG and MILLISON PEARSON. A William was present at Robert's death in 1866. He Lived in Clarke St., Ashton u Lyne and worked in the cotton mills. Would it be possible to find him via the 1861 or 1871 census, if so, is there anyone who could look him up please? I'd like to find him a wife and family and I've never been able to.

Re: Wrigg Family

2004-12-13 14:43:23Z

O I forgot he was married to a Mary Paddock.

Re: Wrigg Family

2004-12-13 14:40:27Z

Percy Lionel Wrigg

2004-11-12 00:55:02Z

Percy was born in Napier, NZ, in 1875. Next found in Victoria, Aust. when he marries Martha Emily Winter in 1900. They had a son, also named Percy Lionel in 1902. Percy Jnr dies in a cable car accident in 1907. His parents divorce in1909. Percy Snr is next found in 1906, now married to Caroline nee (?) when he takes a medical discharge from the Army. He is living in Sydney now and his address in 1916 is 23 Duke Street, Balmain. His occupation is given as barman. I cannot find a marriage to Caroline or death of either Percy Snr and Caroline.

Re: Annie Elizabeth Wrigg b. 1870 Ashton Under Lyne

2004-04-24 18:03:27Z

Thank you for replying to my email. I am actually researching the Hallgarth or Brookfield family. My great-grandmother was Sarah Millicent Wrigg and was Annie Elizabeth Wriggs cousin. Any information I can find, even nephews, nieces, and cousins will be added to my family tree. I know that Annie Elizabeth and Joseph William had at least three children. Wilfred, Gilbert and Mona. They were born in 1889, 1892 and 1900 respectively. Sorry I can't tell you anymore.

Re: Annie Elizabeth Wrigg b. 1870 Ashton Under Lyne

2004-04-23 16:25:21Z

What I should have put is are you tracing the Wrigg Family or the Ratcliffe's.

Re: Annie Elizabeth Wrigg b. 1870 Ashton Under Lyne

2004-04-23 16:23:05Z

I can confirm that Annie Elizabeth Wrigg was married to Jospeh William Ratcliffe, he was my grandmothers brother. If you have any information that might help me with my family history, I would be very grateful. Are you tracing Wrigg family of Ratcliffe.

Cheers

Re: Wrigg Family

Hi Jen, I have a Leslie on my database but don't think he is yours as 1. He married an Alice Glover, 2. He was born 1909 in the UK.
So now we have to add your Leslie. Do you know anything more about him? When and where he was born and also parents names? And where do you fit in the family picture?
I have a John Wrigg b. 1910 d. 1985 that had 5 chn - Patricia, Russell, Charles, Carlin and Mike. Does this family mean anything to you? I understand that they are all from Montana.
Cheers

SOVINAH WRIGG

sheilabeeagain — 2004-12-05 14:46:39Z

She was my father's great aunt and I'm trying to find what happened to her.
Sovina[h] Wrigg, known as Vina, was born in Wakefield in 1881. In about 1900 she went to Walmsgate in Lincolnshire where she worked as a housemaid.
Please get in touch if you recognize the name.

THEOPHILUS ALBERT WRIGG

sheilabeeagain — 2004-12-05 14:46:39Z

He worked as a hairdresser with his father SAMUEL in Wakefield until about 1901 when he left and went to Wallasey in Cheshire. He continued to work as a hairdresser, using the name Albert, but we lost all trace of him after that. He was born about 1868.
If you have any information about him or his descendents, I'd like to hear.

Re: THEOPHILUS ALBERT WRIGG

sheilabeeagain — 2004-12-05 14:46:39Z

Update. Theo married Ellen Ward in Wakefield and had at least one child born Birkenhead. His name was Albert. Theo probably called himself Albert. I believe they lived in New Brighton. Any further info would be really welcome.

Re: THEOPHILUS ALBERT WRIGG

sheilabeeagain — 2004-12-05 14:46:39Z

If we can find a connection between the Wriggs you mention and the Wakefield ones then two branches of Wrigg are related that we couldn't find evidence for. Lots of names in common but also fairly common names. Probably need more detail of your family, unfortunately not in a position to pursue this right now but if it can go on back burner then we might be able to get a couple of heads working on it to add to yours. Sorry can't offer more at moment.
