 Dear Kenneth,
 Thank you for your inquiry regarding Julie Rigney, d/o Elleanor Sidney Rigney.   Exhaustive research of this family reveals Julia as a daughter of Ellen Rigney.  Her name: Eleanor Sidney Rigney is found on two photographs of her, contributed by her descendants. She was known as Ellen, we believe it a nickname for Eleanor.

 The errors on the death certificate of the names of her parents are also found on the death certificates of others of her children.  The DC of her son James Hunter Rigney lists his parents as Mary Ellen Rigney and James Rigney.

 Son, Benjamin Lee Rigney DC shows Ellen Rigney for his mother and Don't Know of his father.

 Many errors are found on Death Certificates, even in my own family.  We believe the erroneous names on the death certificates are because these children knew they were illigement and it was somewhat a stigma in those days.  The fact that Julia does not appear on the 1880 census, can mean she was in another HH with her families which are shown in successive order on that Census.  We do not find a Richard that qualifies as her father.  I will remove this record upon receipt of any further documentation you can provide, in order to prove your assertions.
 
 Much of this research was by Jodi Davis before her death.
 Kindest regards,
 Mary Frances Eggleston (nee Reynolds)
 We find no record for Elvira Gibson or Richard Rigney, to date, 2022
