About Rainford, John Watts The story of the Rainford family in Australia begins inLancashire, England with the birth of John. Believed to be thechild of Richard & Margaret Warrington, John was born in 1815,probably in Preston. The reason for this uncertainty is that nodocuments have been found that show record of JohnÕs parents,such as a marriage certificate. The names of his parents areabsent from his death certificate. However, given there is noother record of a John Rainford being born in Lancashire at thistime and the fact that the names Richard and Margaret arerepeated in the next generation and that he has a cousin ThomasWaddington and an uncle William Haddington; both of which couldbe surname variations on Warrington, we can be reasonably surethis information is correct.At this time no documentation has been found concerning thefirst 14 years of JohnÕs life, such as his place of residenceand where he was educated.By age 14 John Rainford was a convict, found guilty of stealing | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
