Thomas Rayner

[Phoenix]

Baptised 22 April 1744 in Salle, Norfolk, son of Edward Rayner and Ann nee Holman. (No marriage has been found for his parents, but Ann's maiden name was given when she was buried)

Married Mary Goldsmith 19 Jan 1768, Reepham, by banns. Witnesses included Richard King, his step father.

Buried 17 February 1813 in Salle, where his is the first entry in the new register.

Lived variously in Reepham, Hackford and Salle. A cursory search of the graveyard at Salle in the 1980s on an extremely hot August day found no gravestone. There is no will surviving.
