"Regarding a marriage between William Bayley, and Mary Padley at Holme Pierrepont in 1751:
On Freereg, William's abode has been put down as: "St Mary's, Nottingham", on the date of the marriage. He has been transcribed as: "William Baillie". St Mary's (I think) was a parish in the city of Nottingham.
On Freereg for the marriage between Mary Lee, and William Bailey - transcribed this time "Bayley": William's abode at the time of marriage has been put down as: "Cathorp". This is most probably Caythorpe, which is quite near Lowdham. Mary Lee's abode has been put down as: "Bullcoat". This is probably most likely to be Bulcote, which is also quite near Lowdham.
Therefore on the balance of probability, I believe that the marriage between Mary Lee, and William Bailey to be the correct one for parents of our ancestor Ruth, baptised 1757 in Lowdham."
You are probably correct. I think maybe why I discounted them as the Lowdham William & Mary, was due to the baptisms of 2 children in Nottingham, St Mary. Rebecca Bailey on 15 Nov 1754 and William Baillie on 16 Nov 1757.
There was a Mary Lee baptised 9 Jun 1729 dau of Joseph & Ann at Nottingham, St Mary.
Also this one 20 Oct 1733 Mary dau of William & Mary Lees at Bramcote.
