I married into the Raynes family almost 25 years ago.
My father-in-law- William - is called Bill or Henry also.He married Ivy (whose maiden name was Stanley)(I think she was from Sheffield).I am not exactly sure where in Yorkshire Bill is from. ( I know... - very slack - but even my husband doesn't know...)
He and Ivy left the UK in 1956 and emmigrated to New Zealand.Bill had been in the Airforce in the UK - and his occupation had been a monumental mason.After arriving in New Zealand - he became a policeman.
Ivy and Bill have four sons.. David, Michael- (who I am married to), Paul and Peter. Bill and Ivy have made a couple of trips home to the UK.
I will have to do some more research.
