This is a longstanding brick wall about the parents of George Rainford who emigrated in 1849 from London to the USA. His claimed birthdate is June 1, 1810 London (on his gravestone.)
- No birth record exists for George Rainford, born June 1 1810 London.
- His children were baptized at a Non-Conformist Roman Catholic Parish on Horseferry Road, Westminster.
- There is a record of a June 1 1812 birth and June 22 1812 baptism of Georgius Rainford, born to Georgii Rainford and Marie Heywood, baptized in the Roman Catholic Parish on Horseferry Road, Westminster.
- 1840 Business record: Brewer, Rainford, Geo, 4 Medway Street, Westminster [1]
Possible Father: George Rainford, a brewer and landowner, died 6 Jan 1849 in Westminster. Ordered death cert.-- 67 year old Brewer at 9 St Margaret's Terrace, Westminster. Death reported 10 January by E Rainford, who was present at the death. Subdistrict St Margaret West in County of Middlesex. Cause of death chronic bronchitis 3 mo certified.
This father had a son Edward born 1808 who died in 1830. If this was the eldest son, George the Emigrant could suddenly be in line to inherit land and a brewery.

Brick Wall, Assistance Welcome
Brick Wall Page Note: Your insights are welcome! Trying to distinguish George Rainford the Emigrant who left in 1849 from George Rainford the landowner/brewer who died in 1849. (Or any other George Rainford, Rumfort, Ranfort.) Premise: they were Sr./Jr No house numbers on most documents. Two Residences on Medway are reported; one is in parish of St Margaret and the other is Medway, parish of John the Evangelist. Are these distinct? George the emigrant is reported at both.

Occupation Research Note: For clarity, these sources indicate that George's named occupations in England were largely in the brewing industry. He began practicing medicine after emigration to the US. (George's brother-in-law, John Hutchins Baylis 1810–1859 was a doctor who qualified for Membership in the Royal College of Surgeons M.R.C.S.E. on May 20, 1839. Now exploring the premise that George learned enough from his brother in law and enjoyed lax licensing in USA to change his occupation.)
