His parents were Emily Eliza (née Cox) and the stage actor Frederick William Rains.[3] He lived in the slums of London, and, in his own words, on "the wrong side of the river Thames"[4] Rains was one of twelve children, all but three dying of malnutrition when still infants.

According to his daughter, he grew up with "a very serious Cockney accent and a speech impediment"[5] which took the form of a stutter, which caused him to call himself "Willie Wains".

With this in mind, Tree paid for the elocution books and lessons that Rains needed to help him change his voice. Rains eventually shed his accent and speech impediment after practicing every day. His daughter, Jessica, when describing her father's voice, said, "The interesting thing to me was that he became a different person.
