I was hoping that some chink of light would come from George's details, but not so far, other than father's name was also John. One last thing, suzilad  , what was the name of the cousin who reported the death of George (guessing this was in Edinbugh)?

Apologies Monica it was his nephew William Robertson his address was 20 India Place

George was found dead in Victoria Lodging House .

There was an RCE which said degeneration of the heart.

Thank you for that too  Sorry for drib and drabs!

This must be cousin William in 1871:

William Robertson 40 coach painter b. Edinburgh
Margaret Robertson 42 wife b. Fifeshire
Address: 20 India Place, Edinburgh

Think this William lived with his family from 1841-61 in Scotland Street Edinburgh. Father Thomas, a master house painter and mother Margaret.  This Margaret's maiden name might have been Keith. So, don't get the cousin reference really on George Rigby's death reg.    Maybe as we have seen, term cousin was used loosely...

I am stuck now on following through further that George and whether there was any connection to John and Janet Rigby/McLeod.

there is a link with the robertsons because ann/anne robertson  married francis rigby son of john mcleod   and jean walkingshaw, francis  was my 3rd great grandfather  carol  a lot of people have her down as ann/anne robinson but i can assure you it is robertson  carol

sorry francis is my 2nd greatgrandfather i have been looking through my timeline on scotlanspeople found a lot of deaths for john rigby but i think a bit to early 1816 and 1817, 1817 death was a pensioner in the poorhouse death due to fraility and the death in 1846 was the 1 year old son of john and jean (walkingshaw).   on georges death certificate it was the same as above single and a coach painter same parents as the post above . carol
