Answering my own Q, maybe not as there is a John Strickland Rigge bap at St Mary le Bow in 1797 but his parents are John THomas Rigge and Rebecca!

And, guess what?!! John Strickland Rigge married.......Elizabeth Rigge in 1820 at St Mary le Bow.

So, Elizabeth who was living with David in 1841 may have been his daughter and his daughter-in-law!

Cripes Zoe!! Another one!

they like intermarrying don't they?

Google books throws up this gem:

The Gentleman's magazine, Volume 166

24 (Aug 1839) - At Brompton, John Rigge, esq. of Hunter Street, to Honoria, dau. of David Rigge Esq.

There are two Honoria Rigge on 1841

One wife of John Rigge, which would be the marriage above - she's the daughter of David Rigge of New Bond Street

and another who is living with David and ELizabeth Rigge in Brompton Road

This is becoming a tangle.

there's definitely two Honoria's - one born abt 1811 who married John Rigge and one born abt 1828 who is with David and Elizabeth Rigge in 1841.

What was the marriage status of teh Elizabeth Rigge who married David? I wonder if she was the widow of John Strickland Rigge and decided she liked the name


EDIT Ignore my theory - Merry just proved i'm wrong before I asked the question
