I also have the name Rayne (note spelling here)in my ancestry. Our family was at Winlaton and dates to about 1730s. I have William Rayne marrying Isabella Short (1737-1814). Their son, John Rayne (1773-1845), married Sarah Smith (1773-1852) and lived at Winlaton. Their daughter, Mary Rayne, married John Greener. And their daughter, Mary Greener (1851-1911), married Thomas Robinson, and lived at High Spen. These Robinsons were originally from Greystoke in Cumberland. John & Mary Greener's other daughter, Elizabeth Greener, was married to Coffee Johnny Oliver. Thomas and Mary Robinson's daughter, Sarah Ann Robinson, married George Charlton. My grandmother and their daughter, Ada Charlton, married Thomas Calvert and they lived at High Spen also. Thomas Calvert was from Witton Gilbert. I have several other County Durham and Northumberland families from which I descend including: Laws, Thresham, Atkinson, Carr, Breckens, Race, Davidson, Gibson, Brunksill, and Dawson If you recognise any connection to any of these families, please contact me Sincerely, Carol Small
