Hello Katie

Did you know there's a topic posted on the Bedfordshire Lookup Requests for Kisby Cotching - where in my reply I've found a William Rainbow, grandson born 1843 Aspley Guise, in the family of Kisby Draper.
 
The IGI has WR's christening, with parents John Rainbow & Eleanor. From the 1851 census John Rainbow was born Yardley Hastings in 1805. The IGI in turn has his christening, naming parents Caleb Rainbow & Hannah.

Could these Rainbows be linked - is there a pot of gold at each end  ;)

Regards John

Thank you very much, John!
Those are my Rainbows alright! I found William (b. 1801) in the IGI with parents Caleb and Hannah, but had never found John before. At last, the possibility of getting further back with my Rainbows  :D!
Thank you very much!
