I cannot find his Marriage Record, but the Census records via Ancestry show he was indeed a tailor in Lydney most of his life, since 1841 at least. Alfred was born in Minchinhampton Glos abt 1830, by the 1861 Census he was married to Mary (born Lydney c1824) with children Susan M (7y) and George B (9y), and by 1911 was a widow living at Willow Brook Villa, 3 New Road, Lydney.

Their Daughter Susan, from GlosBMD;

1851 Census taken 30 Mar 1851. On the return no children are shown. Ergo the FreeBMD index for Mar 1851 must be for another George Bailey with the above record being the only other in Chepstow District in 1851.
