Find Ancestors

As far back as I have been able to trace the Bailey family, they have lived within Hethersett parish. A brief summary of the early BAILEY line I have established is as follows:
Peter (Balye) baptised (? around 1614, possibly outwith Hethersett parish), married Amy (nee Mallet) – Hethersett 9 Oct 1634 (both buried in 1684)
William baptised 7 May 1643 – Hethersett, married Elizabeth (nee ?) – outwith Hethersett parish
Peter baptised 10 November 1689 – Hethersett, married Sarah (nee Chamberlain) – Norwich Cathedral church 4 Oct 1710
William baptised 8 July 1722 – Hethersett, married Elizabeth (nee Bunn) – Norwich Cathedral church 12 Oct 1743.
Has anyone come across Peter Balye and/or his wife Amy (nee Mallet) or across the marriage of William (bpt 1643) and Eilzabeth Ba(i)ley in a parish - possibly neighbouring Hethersett (Norfolk)? Any advice please on how I can research the Bailey family history in Norfolk before and around the time of the Civil War/Cromwell? Thanks.

Thank you, everyone, for these useful (and swift) replies. Apologies for not replying sooner. Thanks to Cynthia I now realise how the Message Board works :-)

I am a member of the Norfolk family history society,just looked in hethersett baptisms there is a lot,so as not to confuse me just give me the full male and female names and date I will look to see if I can find them.


also a good site is,


Norfolk transcription archive.

also the free site - www.familysearch.org - which is where the information I posted came from

Many thanks again. The marriage record I am looking for is for William Balye (Bayly/Bayley), bapt 7 May 1643 Hethersett, and Elizabeth (baptism record not yet found and could be outwith Hethersett parish), who then had children - one (no name) was buried in Hethersett on 25 Feb 1676, John (bapt 9 March 1684), William (buried as infant 4 May 1684 in Hethersett) and Peter, my direct ancestor (bapt 10 November 1689 in Hethersett). It is possible that the marriage could have taken place outwith Hethersett parish, if Elizabeth's home parish was not Hethersett. Intriguing!

i will see if I can find any of the family.

Thank you :-)

hello donb,
I have been looking through hethersett bmd,
I can find William 1643 son of peter & amy.
I can find john 9-3-1683,
peter 10-11-1689,
have not found William & elizabeths marriage but I will keep looking.

this family have their surname spelt BALY on the family history site,
maybe someone will find the marriage with this spelling before I do.

peter & amys children in hethersett baptisms,
Katherine 12-07-1640.
William you know 1643.
Elizabeth 16-04-1648.
nothing else yet.

Many thanks for this. It is very good of you. I have a feeling that William and Elizabeth will have married outwith Hethersett parish sometime between 1660 and 1676...

does anyone have boydds marriage index,
please could you look at the marriage for William baly 1663 in Norfolk,just to see if it the one we are looking for.
