Nancy Stein 1889 Whitechapel, London, England
Lena Stein 1913 Mile End, Middlesex, England
Leslie Rayner 1918 London, Middlesex, England
Lily Rayner 1920 London, Middlesex, England

I guess that Nancy divorced the father of Lena (whom we deduced was Harry) and married Joe, but maintained her former husband's family name.

We have the following marriage record which could be a candidate for Rachel COOPER who went back to using her maiden name in 1939 registry (see Reina MICHAELS profile):-
From FreeBMD, Marriages Dec 1902
Surname: Rayner First name(s): Joseph District: Mildenhall Vol: 4a Page: 1767
Surname: Cooper First name(s): Rachel District: Mildenhall Vol: 4a Page: 1767
But this Joseph lived until 1960, so Rachel who wrote herself down as a widow, might have been divorced.
