E. is for Eleanor . . . and Edith, and Ethel, and Edwina, etc. Take your pick, any English girl’s E-name will fit.

What about the dates? The doc is reportedly 1911, when the E.Rigby in question was aged 16. That makes her date of birth c.1895. The birth date on the Eleanor Rigby gravestone is 1895. Is this the same person, or just coincidence?

Look at the postage stamp. It shows Edward VII, who died in 1910. In 1911, stamps of George V were in use. Was the council using up old stock of E7 stamps, or is the document a year or more older than 1911? If it is older, then E.Rigby’s DoB will be pre-1895, which will not match the date on the Eleanor Rigby gravestone.

Paul just made a statement that “Elenor Rigby is a totally fictious character and anyone who wants to spend money on this docuement can go ahead” – or something very close to those words.

Yeah seems to me like Paul probably stumbled upon it after the fact and thought …”Nifty!”

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a real Elanor Rigby.

Even 40 years later, the Beatles are full of surprises!
