Many thanks for your help. I have found that a lot of the baileys were clothiers. They are well documented however they seem to differ slightly. If i am correct, I have traced back to William bailey 1579. This has definitely been an easier branch of my tree to complete. Many thanks for your help

My interpretation of the data is as follows:-

The earliest known record of a Bayly in this locality is John Bayly, a tenant farmer at Wheatenhurst, in 1479.

The Muster Roll of 1522 records for the parish of Wheatenhurst one Thomas Baylly plus another Thomas Bailly (presumed son of Thomas) and a Richard Bayly (presumed a brother to either Thomas senior or Thomas junior).

In the parish register of Wheatenhurst various births are recorded as follows: Richard, Elizabeth and Alice between 1540 and 1543, William in 1544, Henry and Elizabeth in 1547, and Giles(AEgidy) in 1548, parents unknown. Also, several burials which may have been children, adults, or wives, as follows: Henry 1544, Edward 1545, Alice 1545, Margaret 1546, Johan 1546.

One William Baily is recorded in the Muster Roll 1522 in the neighbouring parish of Longney and may have been the husband of one Margaret BAYLY residing at Longney who died circa 1547(her Will 1544) proved 1547, buried 3 March 1547 at Wheatenhurst.

Margaret Bayly, widow, in her WILL made 1544, names her sons as follows:- Wyllm the heldest, Jhon the elder, Richard, Thomas, Robart, Jhon the younger, William the younger.

First Generation being the descendants of Margaret Baylye of Longney (buried 3 March 1547 Wheatenhurst).The Chidren of Margaret Baylye:-
1. Wyllm the held(est) b.1511, bur 1557 (Will 1547) proved 1557/8 mar. Elizabeth Batt (Will 1578) [see the descendants of William Baylye of Wheatenhurst in the Visitation 1682-84 and supplemental records]

My wife also descends from the same William bailey as yourself and then down through Anselm his son. Or at least that is what I have. I do need to sit and go through it again. Thank you for your references I have already used joy whaites history which was where I got most of my information from.

Good luck with the rest of your tree and please keep me posted if you have any further developments on this branch

Many thanks once again for your help

My direct ancestor is John Bayly of Wheatenhurst (1554-1610). Do you have information confirming his father/mother?

Is his father William who died in 1579?

Many thanks,

Richard Hunt
