Hi Felicia I have your Joseph in my extract of RAINEs from the 1871 census of Romaldkirk. If you don't already have this, the details are: Watchers House, Hunderthwaite Joseph RAINE/ head/ 40/ game watcher/ Romaldkirk Margaret/ wife/ 24/ / Middleton Jane BEADLE/ stepdau/ 8/ Middleton Ann RAINE/ dau/ 2/ / Hunderthwaite John/ son/ 11m/ / Hunderthwaite I have also transcribed the RAINEs from the Romaldkirk parish registers, but do not sem to have Joseph's baptism. Either not Anglican, or another parish, or I missed it ?? Hope this helps.
