Rachel Bailey birth / death lookup please..

[baggsy]

Could anyone help with a birth and death date for Rachel Bailey born around 1740/50 in Leek, she Married Philip Beecroft in ? year, no idea where assume Stafforshire and they had  I believe, 3 children .Any help would be much appreciated.

What evidence do you have that she was born in Leek? 

How have you calculated her birthyear?

What were the children's names & birthyears?  If you are a descendant you must know at least one of the names/birthyears

My information has come via an Australian distant relation who is researching the same tree line, I have searched to cross/ reference but to no avail so far.. Philip and Rachel's children were Mary Beecroft who apparently died in 1841,although I can't find this information,  Philip Beecroft born 1781 Cheshire who Married Mary Henshall in stoke on Trent , (they became my 4 times grandparents.) and possibly Ann Beecroft
Philip was born c 1743 and died 1827 so its just an assumption Rachel was possible brn in the years before, during or after husband Philips birth .. Philip was born in Knutsford Cheshire
I'm sorry I don't have much other detail to go on !

Philip Beecroft bn 1781 was buried in Middlewich 25 Sep 1831 - he was baptised at Weaverham with mother as Elizabeth

Thank you Rosie, this fits with my dates information on Philip Beecroft, so his mother was Elizabeth and not Rachel ?  That's a confusing turn of events , as the name Rachel Bailey has been used down the generations asa name/ second name quite often, so must have come from somewhere ?

I note that there is a tree on Ancestry for Rachel Bailey (no info.) & Phillip Beecroft 1743 – 1827
And a son Phillip Beecroft 11 September 1831 died 25 September 1831.

Another tree has the above plus daughters Mary 1771 & Ann 1772, Rachel is shown as born 1745c Leek.

There are a number of baptisms at Weaverham, Cheshire, only father Phillip noted.

However there are also these for Phillip which names the mother as Elizabeth

Mary 1771,  Samuel 1773, James 1778, Phillip 1781, Ann 1782.
