Thomas Bailey and Ann Roberts married at Witham on the Hill 7th October 1794, that seems certain.
Ann was baptised on 9th September 1770 in Colby and her parents were Peter Roberts (possibly born in Witham on the Hill, and suspect he was the son of Thomas Roberts) and Ann Musson b 1749 Swinstead.
Thomas Roberts was I think born in Grantham in 1770.
Can anyone help me with Thomas Bailey please?
-
Thomas was of Grantham on the Marriage Record.
Is that where they had their Children?
A Mary Bailey was a Witness to the Marriage.
Do you have a Burial for Thomas/Ann?
-
BURIALS;
St Wulfrum, Grantham
ANN Bailey, Widow, 28 Dec 1847, age 77 (1770) abode Spittlegate
THOMAS Bailey, 29 March 1840, age 74 (1766***) abode Spittlegate

Hello Trish
I thought I had posted a reply to this, but not so!
Thank you for your help. I did not know there was a witness to Thomas Bailey's marriage. Mary, could be his sister. Perhaps you have a different source than I have. Are there any other witnesses please?
The burial was most interesting, I did not have that, so thanks. So if this is so, then Thomas is four years older than I thought. The date I have was given to me by someone else as a possible, so this burial age could well be right. Even considering sometimes those that survived them did not know for sure what age they were, even the person themselves was sometimes unsure.
Spittlegate makes sense.
Now I am wondering if he is the Thomas Bailey baptised in Barrowby in 1766, there is another, very unconfirmed connection with Barrowby. That village is close to Grantham.
Yes the children were brought up in Grantham as far as I can see.
Thanks again, Trish. Love your picture with the little one.

Hi again,
Thanks, I love that picture too. She she is 7 now and was my 1st Grandchild.

Thank you very much, Trish.
That all sent me on a long interesting search in another direction as well!!!!
By contacting someone else as I thought he might be connected, he went off searching again and found he had to make a correction to his research to put it right. He was glad I wrote to him.
So all in all a very successful query.
It would appear that Mary was Thomas's sister. This all does seem to be the right family. Thank you very much.
Of course one answer brings up three more questions - when will we ever learn!! Never I suspect we enjoy the puzzles!!!
Thank you again, Trish.
Best wishes

Your very welcome Pelican.
BURIALS;
All Saints, Barrowby
WILLIAM Baily, 24 March 1774, age 17, Son of William, died of Putrid Fever, abode Barrowby
( Birth c 1757)
WILLIAM Baily, 06 May 1774, age 42, abode Barrowby , Father of William Baily-Putrid Fever
(Birth c 1732)
RUTH Bailey, 06 Sep 1794, no age given
(FreeREG)
So Son William and Father William died of Putrid Fever a few weeks apart, how sad.
Epidemic typhus (also called "camp fever", "jail fever", "hospital fever", "ship fever", "famine fever", "putrid fever", "petechial fever", "Epidemic louse-borne typhus," and "louse-borne typhus") is a form of typhus so named because the disease often causes epidemics following wars and natural disasters.
So cant find a Marriage for William/Ruth.

Thanks again, Trish. This has been a brick wall for so long. Bailey is a fairly common name and connecting up was very uncertain. However with your wonderful help we have it. They are all ancestors of my great grandmother.
Those deaths are so sad, so close together. Must go looking and see if there was a disaster of some kind, or just very bad living conditions. Ruth survived her husband by 20 years and died just a month ahead of her son Thomas' wedding to Ann Roberts who are my direct ancestors.
Thank you too for the marriage of William and Ruth. Long Bennington has bells ringing, muted, but there is something somewhere. Certainly not far away from Barrowby. Not far from Claypole either which has connections with my great grandfather, perhaps the bells are ringing there and not the Bailey's!
Sadly the name Ruth never came down this side of the family, perhaps it is in another line. Must go and look. That really would confirm it all!!!! This family were very regular in passing down names, particularly surnames which really has been a help in later generations!!
So many thanks.
Best wishes

I hope you followed the link I gave. It showed that one of the marriages parties was "of Barrowby". :)

Good work Geoff-E :)
I am glad I could help a little Pelican.
-
Yes I saw that Ruth was of Barrowby. Delight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She certainly was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took this a lot further, the Pearson's are a Barrowby family. Ruth was the daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Pearson and I have the rest of the family.
Robert was the son of James and Elizabeth Pearson and I have the rest of that family too.
At the moment I do not have the marriages of Robert and Deborah or James and Elizabeth, but that is for tomorrow. With James and Elizabeth I am looking at the 1670's!!! Wow!!!
-
Sorry GeoffE I missed this was you. Thought it was Trish again, I am afraid I did not look. So my profound apologies.
Barrowby has turned out to be a nest of all the names in the Bailey clan. Most of the families may have originated from there!!! So thank you both very much indeed.
Best wishes

Hi Rev Rick,
Welcome to Rootschat.
I would be a good idea to remove your email adtress to discourage scammers.
After you have made 3 posts on here the PM (personal message system) is activated so you can contact other members off line.
If this query re Thomas Musson/Ann Jackson is not related to Pelicans then start a new query in the Lincs Board and you will get more answers I would think.
Trish :)
