Hi,
I'm just starting to research William Bowles Raynor and came across these interesting posts. My tree is:
George Raynor 1902-2002 (my grandfather)
William Downing Raynor 1876-1961
Edwin Raynor 1847-1927
William Raynor 1826-1900
William Bowles Raynor 1802-1874
I know these posts are quite old now but I would be really keen to chat to anyone else who has also been looking for details on him. I've found some interesting background information on his time in the police from a book called "Victorian Nottingham - Police courts and prisons".
Thanks,
Tim
