Find Ancestors

Hmmm...

Looking at the 1871 census image 'Thomas' is female! and Housekeeper, not Horsekeeper.

Hello GlitteBaby

Unfortunately I do not have access to bapisms - somebody else gave me the above HenryBailey christening info.

My grandfather was always under the impression he was an only child, and was orphaned at an early age.

Did you find any other children baptised to this couple

I am still trying to solve the mystery of who my grandfather Henry Bailey was! Have been searching for the last eleven years. Can anybody find out whether and when the parents of the Henry Bailey mentioned above, John Frederick Bailey and Louisa, were ever married. If their marriage can been traced, can anybody trace the death of Louisa?
You will see from above that I have found a John Frederick W. Bailey who died June Q. 1878,age 34 Fulham 1a 152. Grandfather was probably placed in the above orphanage after his mother died (if I am not barking up the wrong tree!) Thank you.

Birth may not have been registered - no penalties until 1875

I have a christening record of Henry Bailey as follows:
Henry Bailey
Birth 21 Feb. 1869
Christening 13 Feb1870 Saint Mary, Saint Marylebone, London,
England.
Parents:
Father: John Frederick Bailey
Mother: Louisa

I cannot find a a record of his birth, or where it took place. Can anybody perhaps help?

In the 1871 Census I have found the same Henry Bailey living at
8 Burton Place Marylebone with other family members:


Thomas Bailey Head W aged 62 Horsekeeper b. St. Georges
Louisa Bailey daughter aged 19 Dressmaker B. Marylebone
George Bailey Son age 11 b. Marylebone
John F (?) Bailey Son Mar. age 27 Cab proprieter b. Paddington
Henry Bailey G.Son age 2 B. Marylebone

I am also unable to find the marriage of John Frederick Bailey and his wife Louisa.

I found in BMD the following death:
Death June Q 1878: John Frederick W. Bailey Age 34 Fulham 1a 152

Could he be the father of Henry Bailey, born in 1969?

I know that Henry Bailey was orphaned at an early age.
Can anybody perhaps find any of the above people in the 1861 or 1891 Census, or perhaps the death of Louisa Bailey something between 1869 and 1878.
I have found a Harry Bailey (aged 8) admitted to Strand Union Children's Establishment, Edmonton from the Parish of St. Giles on 24th May, 1878.
In the 1881 Census there is a
Henry Bailey aged 12 at this establishment. (inmate)b. Middlesex

I am trying to find out whether the Henry Bailey christened in 1870 is the same perspon as Henry Bailey in the Strand Union, Edmonton, in 1881.
