Research Note.1

From "The Black Book" in the Norwich Record Office :-
"I believe he saw Jane at the Norwich Musical Festival & fell in love with her on sight. Subsequently he met her sister to whom he became engaged but on meeting the family (illeg) she was not the one he had fallen in love with. The mistake was corrected and he (illeg) married Jane.
See her engraved portrait as "Mrs. Barker"
The Rays were a good looking family"
