Edna Bailey

[tuppence_123]

Hi there

I am trying to find information on the birth/baptism of Edna Bailey who was born around 1815.  The 1851 and 1861 census have her born in Edmondsham, Dorset and this is also where she married William Sherring in 1835 (where she is named as "Ednor").

Unfortunately the Dorset OPC baptisms only go up to 1812.

Without the names of her parents (at least her father) I can go no further researching this part of the family tree so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Could she have been a Edith?

familysearch.org shows three Bailey couples batpizing children in Edmondsham between 1810 and 1820.
- John & Martha
- William & Hannah
- Mathew & Mary
May be worthwhile taking a closer look at all three families.

Matthew Bailey, the elder, of Westworth in Edmondsham, died in 1852 and his will lists his wife, Ann + children (presumably in age order) George, Mary (wife of Thomas Hibbard), Matthew, Edner (wife of William Shearing), Rhoda, William and Ann (wife of Joseph Oxford).

George seems to have been baptized in Cranborne, so you may need to look at their records too in your search for Edna.

Christenings to MATHEW/MARY Bailey, Dorset;
MATHEW Baily, 6 Jan 1809, Edmondsham
MARY, 3 Feb 1811, Edmondsham
EDITH, 1 Jan 1814, Edmondsham
JOEL, 15 June 1817, Edmondsham
GEORGE, 21 May 1820, Cranborne
RHODA, 9 Feb 1823, Edmondsham
WILLIAM, 7 Oct 1825, Edmondsham
ANNE, 16 Nov 1828, Edmondsham

William/Ann appear on the 1841 Census with Mathew.

Now there was a bit of inter-marriage going on here;
Was Mary SHEERING who married Mathew BAILEY in 1837 the Sister of WILLIAM Sheering?
Mathew Bailey as a Widower married Ann LONGMAN 1848
GEORGE Bailey married Emily LONGMAN, 12 Dec 1840, Cranborne, his Father was MATHEW and hers was STEPHEN.
Looks to me that Mathew married the Widowed Mother of his Son Georges Wife!
