Catherine

I have been searching the Jamaican site trying to resolve the mystery.

Your earlier post

Other speculative info:
There is a Jamaican marriage for a David McTaggart & Mary Chase 1820

Are you able to supply the source for this marriage.

Thanks

I have finally searched through all those listings you posted for Rigg and McTaggart. Just want to say a big thankyou as they have been so helpful - some have belonged to my tree and some might so I will be using these links to keep searching back. It will be wonderful to be able to go back further on the Riggs, McTaggart and Rain line.

Your help has been wonderful.

If you go to my rootsweb tree you will see the up to date information I have on this line of my family - here is the link

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=1845990

I would love the copy of the marriage certificate you have. Perhaps you can email me direct and we can exchange further information.

My Grandmother's maiden name was Florence Rigg. She married Martin H Kerz.
As the Kerz line had been heavily researched, I decided to research the Rigg side, I get back to John Rigg and his marriage to Mary Ann Ward, Warren, NSW, 4/1/1877 (I purchased the Wedding Certificate).
The wedding cert. states that John's father is John Rigg and that his mother is Isabella Potilla.

Every family tree that I come across has John Rigg and Isabella Campbell McTaggard being married and their son being John Carr/Kerr Rigg that married Mary Anne Ward.

Their child, or the child of a different John Carr/Kerr Rigg and Isabella was my Grandmother.

Could you shed some light on this quandry please.

They look like they were a large company. I have googled and found heaps. Anyway you can suggest I try and find out how and when they started in Scotland and more about the Riggs involvement in Scotland prior to them coming to Australia.
