A kind friend skimmed through this at the BL. It is a strange book: no publisher, just the address 'Hewitson and Harker, Kirkby Stephen, solicitors acting for Rev. A.N Rigg'. If anyone wants to obtain a copy and if the solicitors are not forthcoming, it was suggested that they try Michael Moon of Whitehaven, an antiquarian bookseller specialising in Cumbrian local history.

Ann -- Thanks, I read it from cover to cover yesterday and then sent it back (I had it on interlibrary loan from Harvard). I found this book by Rev. A. Neville Rigg to be extremely well researched. He cites primary sources as well as such things as unpublished Ph.D. dissertations. There are page after page of names and dates. I would think that someone (or group) interested in Cumbrian genealogy might want to consider making a reprint of this book (with whatever arrangements are appropriate with the author and his solicitors). I have found an email address for Michael Moon and will make an inquiry there.
