Hi Jane,
I have just been looking at your excellent
site and thoroughly enjoyed it. Under Bakeries there is mention of the
Rayson family of Corby Road, in your text you mention that Elizabeth
Rayson, widow of Henry was running the shop with her nephew Henry Rayson.
I believe this Elizabeth is actually the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth
Rayson and in 1881 she is shown as unmarried age 60 and Henry (Nephew) age
22 resident in Corby Road In the 1861 census Elizabeth (mother) is shown
as a widow and retired and the business being run by daughter Rebecca,
unmarried age 42 and Elizabeth also unmarried age 37. The young Henry is
aged 2 and shown as grandson of Elizabeth Snr. I believe that Elizabeth
Snr was buried 22 November 1864 at St Mary Magdalene, Cottingham cum
Middleton, Northampton, England and daughter Rebecca was buried 13 January
1879 in the same church.
I hope this is of use
Best wishes,
Chris Rayson
