Rebecca (nee MARR) married twice
1) to John CRAFT
2) as a widow to John WRAY

I have only found one child of the first marriage (John 1806, as noted above, he died 1829 Hogsthorpe), which may suggest that John CRAFT may have died soon after 1806 - but I haven't found a burial for him - leaving Rebecca free to marry again.  There is no other instance of a CRAFT marrying a Rebecca in my index, so I can't see how there was another Rebecca CRAFT (wid) who could have married John WRAY.

I have also located Rebecca Wray's burial in York,Vaughan Ontario where they homesteaded.

I was talking about the other John WRAY and Rebecca who went on having kids at Burton on Stather - so did not move to Market Deeping.

I have already posted a link to the baptisms of the twin sons of John and Rebecca at Market Deeping ... but I will post it again   The date was actually 19 Oct 1817.
