About   Bailey And Gillbee Families
This site is dedicated to my parents ROY WILLIAM JAMES BAILEY and VALDA ISOBEL GILLBEE. It is a labour of love to my siblings and my children and grandchildren, and all that come after them. It is our ancestors story, it is your story and mine; it is our story and one that is unique to us and I hope I can do justice in the telling of it. There are many, many of our ancestors who have played a part in this wonderful family tapestry of their lives and I am honored to have been able to take a small peep into what those lives were about and how they lived them. Their lives were as diverse as the backgrounds that they came from: the times that they lived in and the Socio-Economic structure that was part of their everyday living,depending on the country and era. Our ancestors came from such places as the Royal Forest of Dean in Gloucester,which conjures up romantic imaginations of royal hunters of the Cromwell era, the discovery of gold, silver and bronze coins left there by the Normans predating Caeser Augustus times, to the stark reality of everyday forest life from the 1500s where they logged wood, mined iron and coal and lived in tiny shacks and cottages along the river Severn. They came from many small villages such as West Winch in Norfolk and Wingrave in Buckingham where many people were born and died, never leaving the town and attending the same schools and churches as their forebearers did many generations ago.Our ancesters were also from Cherry Burton and Beverley in Yorkshire and small villages such as Chitterne and Tilshead in Wiltshire where they farmed or worked at the manors or the horse racing stables in the district. They also came from Kent and London where some of the more fortunate were able to marry and baptize in St Pauls Cathedral which would have been somewhat grand. Some of them immigrated to places such as Virginia, Peurto Rico, Australia,Scotland France, New Zealand and other places that I haven't yet researched: we are scattered far and wide, yet today we are able to reach them with just a touch of a key board. Our ancestors were wealthy, poor, beggars, priests, royals, seamen, soldiers, actors, matron/midwives, surgeons, lawyers, merchants, ladies in waiting, convicts, drunkards, rascals and rogues; they were all of those things all unique in their own right and I am proud to be part of it.

I have really tried to tell an accurate story here, I have used many,many resources in compiling this family history. Most of the usual ones are listed under "SOURCES" and I have a lot of people to thank for information that I have gathered diligently over several years. Hopefully most of it is true, but as I have found over many years of research, peoples' memories fade, or their slant on an event is completely different to what you have been told. With this in mind I have tried to get around family myths, legends, bad memories,sometimes a reluctance to impart their knowledge of a person or event fantasies and downright lies and cover ups. This work will never finish and I apologise to those I have unintentionally omitted, please feel free to contact me to correct this.
