Hi Darel,
Family records should be able to help.
Marriage Registration/Long Form Death Registration/ Genealogical Registration - for Jerry Gordon WIGGILL to Edna Vivian JACKSON - will have personal information - including the names of both sets of parents.

Death Registration/Genealogical Death Registration/Long Form Death Registration - will show the names of both parents - including the mothers maiden name - if known to the informant. Will also show the parents place of birth - again - if known to the informant.
Obituary - may mention the names of parents - as well - names and locations of siblings - or other family members who may be able to help with your research.

Jerry Gordon Wiggill is my uncle. His sister, June, is my mother. Jerry's parents are:
Arlen Francis Wiggill b. 18 Jan 1892 at Kaysville, Utah. He died 16 June 1974 and is buried at Cardston, Alberta. He married Julia Melvina Wheeler on 13 Feb 1911 at Kimball, Alberta. He was 2 yrs. old when he came with his parents (John Richard Wiggill and Anna Eliza Higgs) by covered wagon to the Cardston district.
Julia was born 2 Dec 1894 at Hooper, Davis County, Utah. She came by covered wagon to the Cardston district at the age of 4 with her parents (Levi Wheeler and Mary Lovisa Bennett).Julia died on 29 July 1993 and is buried at Cardston, Alberta also.The above info is taken from my grandmother,Julia's handwritten history.
Another record I've seen has his birthplace as Layton, Davis County, Utah. I'm not sure which is correct.
