Thanks for the link.

This document is a great piece of research and opens up a lot of possibilities. George is most definitely related to the Bailey's of Elmore and Wheatenhurst.

The author and researcher of this genealogy does warn of assumptions and various permitations on the records. Having researched some of the details there are a few branches of this family tree which may contain some incorrect assumptions but the majority of the evidence appears pretty sound.This document opens all sorts of doors to family connections.

I have obtained one of the the Wills mentioned in the document(which was not summarised) from Gloucestershire Archives which fills one of the gaps in my family branch, and have now ordered others to confirm the extended family.

One of the most exciting links that has come out of this document is that one, if not more, of the Bailey's from Wheatenhurst area emigrated to Virginia, New England as one of the first settlers of the environs of Jamestown during the period between 1610 and 1660.

Again, many thanks
