Hola
Could someone please help me work out what the link between Caleb Rainbow (b 1823 Yardley Hastings) and William Rainbow (b Northampton but living in Bucks is)?? I just wonder as there do appear to be a lot of similarities between them, such as the names of their children. In 1871 William was living in Lavendon, Bucks and Caleb was living in YH.
Thanks :D

Could they be brothers? When was William born?
I have found Caleb in 1841 (I think) and he has a younger brother called William, source ref: Class: HO107; Piece 813; Book: 21; Civil Parish: Yardley Hastings; County: Northamptonshire; Enumeration District: 2; Folio: 29; Page: 12

he was born about 1831/2 as far as I can work out... :-\

Hi Katie
The William thats living in Lavendon on the 1871 census is born C1842. But on the census in 1861 he's born c1832 but still with the same wife named Dorcas or Darcus. But i was starting to think the same as Sarah that there brothers

Ugh why does it always have to be so complicated!
Thanks for looking as well, I suppose I will have to assume as there will never be any definite proof! Sigh... :-\

Its sometimes the way. But i'm still trying for you. But i know it may be complicated as a lot of the Rainbows are related to Dunkley's, Rattley's and Underwoods if they come from Yardley Hastings. Being such a small village there all inter related.
