Find Living Relatives

Hi I. am trying to find descendants of Tom & Harry Bailey who came from the Twickenham/Malden area . I believe that they were of Irish descent with a Cornish mother. Also I believe that one of the family may have been involved in a market garden or nursery
Any help or clues will be most helpful.
Alan Blanchard

In which Century?

And how much research have you done yourself?

Were 'Tom' and 'Harry' their registered forenames?

Are/were they related to your mother?

We need some facts, please, Alan

PM received........I do wish people would reply ON HERE




I have tried to find BMD records relating to these two but keep drawing blanks. They were the brothers of my g/father Harry Edwin Bailey and we're probably born around 1880/5. I believe there was also a sister Rose.
The Irish and Cornish connections are only here say from a very old lady who knew Harry and my g/mother when they were alive.
Sorry,I can't be of more help but I have hit a wall with this one.

NOW.....tell us where and when HARRY was born.....please.

How could Harry Edwin have a BROTHER named Harry?

Doesn't make sense.....................unless he was named after a child who died

This is the one in your tree....................

Hi Reggie
Thank you for this info it really has put things into perspective.

Sorry about the earlier mis-understanding , I really didn't understand what was expected of me. Please accept my apologies.

Thank you
Alan.

The 1841 (above) shows that Catharine was not born in Surrey, as no county of birth has been transcribed
