Parallel lives?
Thomas Rayner m Mary Goldsmith 19 Jan 1768 Reepham, Norfolk
Children: Edward b 1768 probably d Lyng in 1845 Ann b 1771 m Robert Fisher Thomas b 1773 Margaret b 1776 d young Matthew 1780 - 1868 Margaret b 1782 d young Mary b 1791 So, I don't know what happened to Thomas junior or Mary junior. Fairly sure that Thomas senior was the son of Edward and Anne, bp 22 April 1744 in Salle, while Mary was definitely daughter of Matthew Goldsmith and Martha bp 7 May 1749, Booton, as she is named in Matthew's will. A Thomas Rayner is buried 17 Feb 1813, Salle, aged 71 and I seized on this as the best fit, although it might mean a probable date of birth in 1741. No sight of the burial of Mary senior. Now I have found a tree where someone attributes this Mary as Thomas senior's wife: Mary aged 90, independent, living in Fulmodestone cum Croxton https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...rity%3Denglish Mary is buried aged 94, so of course I cannot check where she was born, and she leaves a will, which I cannot access at the moment. But she was married to Thomas as there is this will: http://www.norfolksources.norfolk.go...7174\01993.jpg http://www.norfolksources.norfolk.go...7174\01994.jpg In brief, Thomas of F cum C makes a will dated 1828, naming wife Mary, son Thomas and grandson John Rix Rayner. Here is his burial in 1828, aged 81 (so born 1747): https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...rity%3Denglish John Rix Rayner is born and dies in Thornham, right up on the coast near Hunstanton. Here is John Rix Rayner's will: http://www.norfolksources.norfolk.go...6972\37600.jpg His father survived him, but of course died pre 1851: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...6redir%3Dfalse Thomas Rayner bur Sep 1847 aged 74, so born 1773. I would have preferred the will of Thomas to name more children, but there was no reason why he should So... are these two families, both with Thomas married Mary, son Thomas, or are they one and the same and the Thomas buried 1813 just a red herring?

Hmm
A Thomas Rainer of Kettlestone married a Mary Booty of Brinton by licence 9 Nov 1744 at Brinton. Thomas son of Thomas Rayner and Mary bp Kettlestone 16 Nov 1746 A Thomas Rainer of East Barsham married a Mary Clarke of East Barsham by licence 6 April 1769 at East Barsham. Soo, it's feasible that there are two sets of Thomas and Mary Rayner. No sign yet of a Thomas bp circa 1773.

Whoop, whoop!!
Here is the will of MY Thomas junior: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...DsuccessSource I didn't find him to start with because he was 90 when he died (and he must have made his will over 20 years earlier because he was in Norwich by 1841)

Note that in 1839, Pigot's Directory, Thomas is a blacksmith in White Hart Lane, Swaffham:
