Rayner

Not sure if this is the correct Board.
Henry Robert Rayner was born 10 Apr 1911 in I assume England. Birth taken from his death cert. Dies Dec 1978 in St Leonards On Sea.
His marriage cert of 22 Jan 1945 to Hephzibath Sarah Baldwin lists him as a Flight Lt in the RAF.
His father George Henry Rayner had already died by then. He is listed as a Army officer .And that is all I know about this family. Can trace them forwards but would like to know where he was born and any information on his father . Sorry not a lot to go on .
