Hi David I also have some RAINEs from the Teesdale area - mainly Romaldkirk parish - Mickleton and Lunedale. I have transcribed a number of RAINE entries from the local parish registers and, if you don't already have it, the details of your Richard and Elizabeth's mge are : Richard of chapelry of Hutton (ie Hutton Magna) Elizabeth of this parish By banns Unfortunately, this parish did not record the witnesses until 1800, rather than the usual 1754. I didn't see Elizabeth's baptism there. Around the time she would have been born, there was a John RAINE of Dalton Fields having children and a (probably older) Thomas RAINE who was a churchwarden in 1743. Could have been a family who had just moved to the parish and Elizabeth was born just before they arrived. Hope this helps.
