Radcliffe history 0 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 I am currently researching The Manor House in Radcliffe on Trent. The last owner before it was sold to the county council for an old peoples home was Harry Rigley. Any idea when he died, I understand he left Radcliffe to live in Guernsey but cannot trace a date of death. Have checked through all the usual internet sites. Also anyone have any photographs of the man. He owned Oakwood Grange colliery and also the Sherwood Rooms. Any info greatly received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,503 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Welcome to Nottstalgia Rh. I can't answer your question about Mr Rigley's death, but the name Rigley has appeared here before. Is he perhaps also connected with Rigley's railway wagon works near Bulwell ? https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/8501-wrigley-or-rigley-wagon-works/ And pre 1890-ish, there was a Rigley's Yard off Long Row in the city centre. It went approximately through what is now Debenhams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,696 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 In the 1939 Register there is a Harry Rigley living at Oakwood Lodge , Robinette Lane . Basford U.D. Born 18th Oct 1900 . Occupation "Colliery managing director" Also there is a Frances Rigley (wife? ) born 1898 and a Roy Rigley (son?) born 1925 a "colliery weighing time clerk" . Hope this helps !

DAVIDW 1,696 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just had another look at this . Roy Rigley appears to have had at least 3 daughters . One , Becky L (married name) John , in 2002 Electoral Register , was living at Saxelby Pastures Farm . Not sure what the connection is but also there at that time were 2 of the people on this page : http://www.saxelbyholsteins.co.uk/saxelbynews.html There is a marriage too for a Sally G Rigley to a Rex Harvey (possibly Musters Hotel chap ? ) . I believe he has posted on here . Maybe a tactful message to either will help with your info . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Radcliffe history 0 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks for your replies. I do have the information and I have messaged Rex Harvey, but no reply yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,524 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 # 4. I knew Sally who was married to Rex Harvey. She died of Cancer very young, maybe 20 years ago. They lived at East Leake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
