| (1) There seems to be some overlap between the early generations shown below and the early generations given by some sources for the family on Barley1. This will be investigated further in due course. (2) The following record is taken straight from FMG which is normally viewed as quite a reliable source. HOWEVER, the following is suspect for at least the following reasons: (a) The early generations are clearly wrong inasmuch as at least some of the generations have been confused and mixed up. Furthermore, we get the impression that this is one of 'those pedigrees' where at least some of the names have been included so as to show connections with other well-connected families rather than to reflect real people. (b) The name of the family is shown throughout as Bailey BUT the (surprisingly few) cross-references to the following that we have found normally use either Barley or Barlow. It is possible that this is just a major example of how confusing it can be when families spell their names in different ways. However, it leads us to lose confidence in the whole thing. The fact that, as far as we have seen, none of the (main) Visitations to Derbyshire mention this family, using any variation of the name, adds to the concern. (c) The marriage of Robert Bailey with 'Building Bess' is shown as having produced children but it appears to be well-known that it did not. (3) Hunter reports that "This pedigree is a copy of that of the Baileys drawn up by Thomas Eyre of Dronfield Woodhouse, Antiquary". We suspect that, whilst some of it may well be reliable, other parts of it are either spurious or so confused as to be unreliable. To emphasise this, we split the page into 2 sections and show all of the upper section in italics. However, the generation where the split is made has been chosen arbitrarily so it should not be assumed that we give any more credence to the lower section than we do to the upper section. As with other of the 'Temporary and Draft Pages', we would welcome comment from anyone who has studied this family. |
