Rigby Family

This photo, when compared to those below, would seem to have been taken in 1926--certainly no more than a year either way. Ev's mother, Evelyn, and aunt, Olive are sitting on a barrel, or such, and her Grandma and Grandpa Rigby are standing with aunt Vinie between them.

The family of Will and Mary Anne Rigby

Most of the family at least. Standing at the back are Ev's uncle, Wilbert (a little more than half of him at least), Wilbert's wife Staish and son, Wilfred (Hap, born in 1926 or 1927), uncle Vince, and Grandpa Rigby. Grandma Rigby is sitting in front of Vince. In front are Evelyn (Ev's mom) and her sisters Olive and probably Vinie. Olive was married in Dominion, a town across Lingan Bay from New Waterford, and Vinie moved to Boston. Evelyn was probably 15 years of age, calculating on Wilfred's infancy.

Standing against the building are Millie, Olive, Staish, Evelyn, and Grandma Rigby, Evelyn. In front are Grandpa Rigby and Wilbert.

Oops! -------- a little girl in there!

The adults are Buddie Bates and Evelyn, Olive and Danny MacSween, and we don't know who the anchor is. The little girl is Ev.
