Bailey - St Helier

[DerekMac]

Could someone please help with information on the Bailey family, who were in St Helier from the 1841 to 1861 censuses?

I have a James Bailey, cord-wainer/shoemaker and wife Jane in the 1841 and 1851 Censuses.  I am particularly interested in finding out the maiden name of Jane, which could be shown on the children's birth records.

Children of James Bailey from the censuses are

William born C1840
John b. C1842
James b. C1844
Joseph b. C1847
Edward H. b. C1855
Hannah b. C1856
James b. C1858
Mary A. b. C1859
Stephen b. C1861

In the 1861 census James is shown as a widower with a one month old son Stephen, which suggest that Stephen's mother may have died early in 1861.  Stephen's mother's name may or may not have been Jane, as James is supposed to have married three times and could have conceivably remarried between the 1851 and 1861 censuses.

I would greatly appreciate any information on this family.


Regards,

Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for the baptism records and the link to the transcriptions.  I wasn't aware that they were available online.  The information is of great help and will lead me on to more research.
