I wasn't, and see that it was over forty years ago, and they ceased to be active in 1981

Fine, if you think it's professional and ethical to use a name that is part of British rock history. There are a lot of people out there remember their records that are still played on radio on a weekly basis world wide. You could add to your appeal by changing your name to John Lennon, he's been inactive for about the same amount of time.

Maybe someone or former band member might have the registered intellectual copyright
to the name Jigsaw?

You could add another word to the name, as the original band did when they played in Australia - calling themselves British Jigsaw due to a local band with the same name.
If 'Hampshire Jigsaw' doesn't appeal, you could always spell it differently. 'JYGSAW'?
