Rainey and Alexander
« on: Saturday 20 October 12 14:26 BST (UK) »
I have hit a very thick brick wall with the above names. Can any one help or point me in the right direction?
 I seem to have gone down just about every avenue I can think of.

I am looking for a birth, marriage and death of

1.  Henry Rainey, born around 1817, son of John Rainey and Mary ? From Eden, Co Antrim. I know he had a second marriage to Eliza Boreland. I have this info from IGI
- Henry was a widow when he married Elizabeth.    IGI source film#101403. Ref241.  Married by Joseph Dickey and Witnessed by John Kane and Mary Kane. From Marriage extract.  Married in 2nd Kilrea Presbyterian Church,

2.  Henry Alexander born 6 April 1875 in Drumnaheglis, Ballymoney, Co Antrim Ireland

notified by Jane Alexander (mother) as per birth cert abstract  I, William Thomas Latham , Registrar of Births and Deaths in the District of Ballymoney in the Union of Ballymoney in the County of Antrim , do hereby certify that this is a true Copy of the Registrar’

I cannot find any more info about Henry, whether he lived or died. It was a name that was not taken any farther in the family , he seems to be the last Henry. His parents were Jane Rainey and James Alexander (formerly McCaldridge- or a varient of this as has been seen throughtout the seraches)

Thank you in advance.

There have already been a few threads about the Alexanders and Raineys-

Henry Rainey, born around 1817, son of John Rainey and Mary ? From Eden, Co Antrim. I know he had a second marriage to Eliza Boreland. I have this info from IGI
- Henry was a widow when he married Elizabeth.    IGI source film#101403. Ref241.  Married by Joseph Dickey and Witnessed by John Kane and Mary Kane. From Marriage extract.  Married in 2nd Kilrea Presbyterian Church,

what is the date of Henry's 2nd marriage?
