Sylvia, it looks as though there were RIGSBYs in South Cerney, so you could use that spelling too when searching.

Sylvia, do the names of her children give any clues as to her possible parents? If there were an Al(l)en you might have a clue!

Thank you for looking Elizabeth, i have only found one child for this couple, a daughter Ann born 1816,

England & Wales Christening Records, 1530-1906
about Ann Bunce
Name: Ann Bunce
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 18 Jun 1816
Christening Date: 14 Jul 1816
Christening Place: Wanborough, Wiltshire, England
Age at Christening: 0
Father's Name: James Bunce
Mother's Name: Mary

The death you found looks right, James death is listed in Highworth.

Hmm, wonder if the second baptism you found is the right one with the mother being Mary ?.
