I have in the past been hesitant to enter Edward Rayner, since his details have been copied and recopied without anyone thinking things through.

Surname variously spelled: Rainer/Rayner/Reyner/Reiner

Born
23 October 1700 Worthing, Norfolk, son of Edward Reyner and Mary nee Andrews

Baptised
28 October 1700 in the Chapelry of Worthing (Swanton Morley appears to have been the mother church)

Married
7 October 1728 St John Maddermarket Norwich to Mary Hooke, by licence.
Register states both of Worthing
If allegation or bond survive, they have yet to be catalogued to appear on NROCAT

2 June 1731
Baptism of first daughter, Anne, in Worthing. Edward is described as junior.

15 May 1733
Baptism of second daughter, Mary in Worthing. Edward again described as junior.

12 Feb 1736/7
Administration bond for late father's estate. Edward of Worthing

1739 -
There is a gap in parish registers for marriages between 1741 and 1755 and for burials between 1739 and 1765 in Worthing, so Edward's first wife and daughters may well have been buried in this period. Edward might also have remarried in Worthing.

24 April 1744
Baptism of son Thomas in Cawston. Mother is Anne nee Holman, but no marriage has ever been found.

Occupation: Publican

25 February 1758
Burial in Reepham

No known will or gravestone

Note that Edward was considerably older than his second wife, who was born in 1724, and not from the immediate locality of Reepham, but I have seen documentary evidence to prove the tree.

The image of it is on FMP. Would you like me to send it to you? Please pm your email if Yes.

I may not respond until later as I'm out for much of the rest of the day.
