Bailey and Lockwood families

[JGriff]

I was hoping to find out some information (and pictures if they exist) of Matthew Bailey (my g g grandfather) b. 1875 and his wife Edith.

From stories I heard from my family he was a he was a Methodist and objector to the war, was refused benefits and was ostracized from most of his family.

He had 3 daughters, Harriet, Edith and Lillian with his wife Edith Lockwood 1877 - 1936.

His father, Edwin Bailey died in 1893 and his family was gifted a large, 15kg bible at his funeral which we still have in our possession.

Any information about the Bailey’s or Lockwood’s would be appreciated so I can learn more about the people who passed this bible down for generations.

Thank you
