Sarah is mentioned under her married name Norton on the 1891 and 1901 census. Her children Mary Ann, Eliza, Maud and Ellen Louise can all be found on the 1891 census,…"

Elizabeth Allen commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Sorry I meant Albert John born 1876 (not Alfred) are you thinking that Albert may be Alfreds brother?
Eliz."
Elizabeth Allen commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Dellas, Alfred John RAINFORTH born 1876 as per your previous message died the same year so you can exclude him - deaths Sept quarter 1876 Islington aged 0
Your Alfred was born c. 1865 not 1871 - why would Fanny be…"
Elizabeth Allen commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Dellas, As Alfred gave his son who died in WW1 the middle name of Martin I am pretty sure this is the correct Father - it is just his Mother that is confusing
As Mariann seems to have disappeared after her children were born, I wonder who…"
Dellas Marie Port commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Hi Elizabeth and Sylvia
I think I may have found Alfred's mother, Fanny Staples, and I suspect she may have died at childbirth because year of death is the same as Alfred's probable year of birth:
Fanny Staples
England and Wales Death…"

Thanks for the tip re 'marinersandships'.
Find My Past is a site that requires you to be a paid member...I did a search on Alfred John Rainforth and found one more possibility but cannot access it without first being a…"

After a lot of searching using all combination of names - it has two marriages for a Martin RAINFORTH:Martin Rainforth 1839–1912 BIRTH 1839 • Greenwich, London, England DEATH 2 OCT…"
Elizabeth Allen commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Dellas,
There is a W RAINFORTH listed as a crew member on the following site - age matches your John Alfred but no idea if it is him or not - initial could be incorrect

Are you able to check…"
Dellas Marie Port commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Yes, I saw the 1871 census records too, and John H could have been John A and has just been misread. I also saw the Raniford record and saved it as a possibility.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Dellas Marie Port commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"I love that my family is ringing bells for you Elizabeth! The Martin Rainforth in the "Mason Hill Line" family tree appears to have been married twice - so maybe he was married three times! I have also found mention of an A…"

Elizabeth Allen commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Dellas, It is also possible that Fanny STAPLES might be a stepmothers name if his real Mother was deceased? Something rings a bell with this family but I have no idea what it is !!!!
Let's hope it can be sorted out & that you…"
Dellas Marie Port commented on Dellas Marie Port's blog post Mary Annie Cellars"Hi Sylvia
Looks like you've come up with the same information as Elizabeth as this is the same Alfred John Rainforth referred to in the "Mason Hill Line" family tree, but the parents' names are different. Parents on…"

You've been busy - whilst I have been out with two of my grandchildren at the zoo as it is a beautiful day here!

I am trying to locate information regarding my great-grandmother who died on 21/4/1939, aged about 61 years. She was buried as Mary Potter (having been married to James George Henry Potter in 1916). However she was buried at Karrakatta Cemetry with 3 of her children and Paul Albert Delakonny (father of the 3 deceased children) with whom she lived for about 12 years prior to her marriage to Potter. Before living with Delakonny, she was first married to Alfred John Rainforth. The marriage…
