Hi Dave It is me again Michael in Clacton. I was born in Whitstable, but left when I was two for Essex. Until recently I had relatives in that town, but they have now departed, which is often the way when you need their knowledge. Two of the names for which you have bother are 'relatives' Rigden, my grandmother's nee name and Whorlow, but the latter only traceable in my tree well back. The owners, or website moderators, might be of use for local history, maybe you are aware of them already, running 'Oystertown' and another site 'Simply Whitstable'. For my part I will have to check the Rigden person, it might refer to a young sailor killed when his vessel was sunk by enemy action. He got scalded to death....terrible. I'll see what I can do.
