I am still trying to find George Bayley's parents. There are a few candidates but cannot find that elusive piece of information. Francis Baily may have been his grandfather. I managed to obtain the Will of Francis which confirms his daughter Mary married Thomas Hulls, his main heir was his grandson Thomas Hulls. Francis was buried with his wife in the Hulls family tomb at Corse church. Unfortunately the damaged parish records of Corse have not provided any more information than that already transcribed.

The Ferris connection is Emma Bailey (b.1829, Hartpury)daughter of William Bayley (b.1804, Hartpury)and Anne (nee Hiam). She first married Wiliam Hiam and had 2 sons William and Hartley. Her husband died in his 20s and was recorded as a "sea captain". Her second marriage was to John Ferris ( but I know no more than this ).

I'm researching the Hiam, Capper, Dodwell, Jelfe, and Hulls families at the moment in the hope that references to George Bayley will surface.

Corse and Hartpury are made up of very small hamlets and their communities were quite insular, most of the inhabitants being related to each other by one means or another. However, having said that they ventured out to the neighbouring hamlets of Tirley, Hasfield, Eldersfield, Linton (nr Over), Lassington, and Ashleworth.
