Walter, see the English Roadster discussion at: http://oldroads.com/d_eng_def.asp?rec_count=1

Also a must read: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/english-3.html

On Sheldon's page you 'll see how to tell a Raleigh made bike from an older one that was made in the orignal company's factory. If it's a Raleigh made roadster or light roadster it should have Raleigh threading. Not such a bad thing really.
