Summary

Born in London in 1834 William Charles Rigby sailed a small boat, the 'Gem' from London to Melbourne in 1853 in order to reach the goldfields of Victoria. After six years he moved his family to Adelaide and in 1859 established his bookselling, stationery and publishing business in Hindley Street. An advertisement for the business may be found in the Register of 5 November 1868, pg 4. The business outgrew these premises and in 1877 he built the premises in King William St. William died aged 79 on 14 July 1913. An obituary is published in The Register of Tuesday 15 July 1913.
