Possibly Related Bailey Lineages
Related Families from the same areas
Other (probably unrelated) Bailey Lineages
This family originated in the Clogher
/ Aughnacloy area of County Tyrone, Ireland about 1750. Some descendant
lines are known in England and in Australia (New South Wales) to the present.
Note that there are some phonetic variations for "Bailey".
George
Bailey was born at Clogher, County
Tyrone in Ireland, c1805, the son of farmer JOHN BAILEY and his wife JANE or
AGNES KERNES. Vicky Bailey (5 January 2004) notes John as being born in 1773. Obscure references connect
John Bailey to the Battle of Waterloo; others suggest that he was killed in
the Phoenix Park massacre [or similar]. Some have John’s father as WILLIAM
BAILEY.
In 1984, Alice Morrow of Thornton NSW received from Mrs Muriel Auld in Ireland
the following:
“The Bailey family have been in the (Clogher, Co Tyrone) area for at least
200 years. The church records at Clogher list a James Bailey baptised in 1794
(son of Archibald of Shane). They have been in the town of Clogher for almost
200 years as tenants of Dr Story. Most of them were blacksmiths and for many
years they had a forge in town…”
George Bailey married Jane Armstrong at the English Church, Aughnacloy
TYR Ireland on 19 May 1829. Jane was a native of Belfast ANT (according to Immigration
details), the daughter born in 1808 to farmer WILLIAM ARMSTRONG ("Win")
and his wife ELIZABETH.
George, 36, and Jane, 33, left home in Ireland for Australia on 12 July 1841,
departing Grennoch on 22 July aboard the 344 ton barque Trinidad;
they arrived as Free Immigrants in Sydney on 6 November 1841. With them were
their children Margaret Bailey (aged 10 years), William Bailey (age 9 years),
Eliza Jane Bailey (5 years) and Aiken Bailey (3½ years; also known as
Erskine). George and Jane described themselves as literate Protestants, he a
farm servant and she a house servant. As well as their own family, George and
Jane also had 20-year old Roman Catholic Bridget O’Neill (Biddy) in their
care.
Immigration records shew that George, before disembarking the Trinidad,
was engaged by Mr D L Irving of the Shoalhaven for three months employment.
Mr Irving also engaged another passenger, Owen Macanally from ?Trout TYR, for
6 months. Owen, a Roman Catholic farm servant aged 28, was accompanied by his
wife (who died on arrival in Sydney), daughter Rosa (4) and son John (1½).
Also aboard the Trinidad was Enniskillen agriculturist John Beattie,
24, his wife Jean, 22 (daughter of Robin and Mary Cranstown) and their children
John (aged 4½) and Robert (13 months) [of no known relationship to the
Beatties of Kilskeery TYR].
Jane bore George a total of ten children:
Mary Ann Bailey was apparently born in
the Shoalhaven area six or eight weeks after George and Jane’s arrival,
and was baptised in S Philip's CoE Sydney in July 1842; her father was stated
to be a labourer residing in Kent Street, Sydney. When Charles was baptised
in 3 September 1844, George was a farmer residing at Mr Charles Whalan's “Glyndwr”
estate immediately east of the present Oberon township and overlooking Fish
River Creek; by George Thomas' baptism in December 1852 the family had moved
to the nearby Fish (alias Duckmaloi) River.
A story is told that about six weeks after Charles was born, Janes' friend (?sister
) Mrs Pierce became seriously ill in Redfern. George was away somewhere with
the bullocks and bullockies so Jane carried infant Charles and luggage to Sydney,
130 miles east across the Blue Mountains, to see her friend. The child was then
about 6 weeks old, and Jane stayed at gatehouses along the road, and with Mrs
Pierce in Redfern when in Sydney. There is general support for this story, though
Charles' birth and baptismal dates indicate that some details may be inaccurate.
George had two blocks of land in what is now Oberon (a pisé house still
stands behind a more recent frontage) and in 1851 and 1853 purchased land on
the Duckmaloi, to be named “Bloomfield”.
Jane
Bailey nee Armstrong died at Duckmaloi near Oberon NSW on 8 December
1879, aged 71 years. The informant on her death certificate named her father
as William Armstrong, farmer, and her mother's maiden name to be ERSKINE, and
that she had been born in Co Armagh Ireland. She was apparently unrelated to
oother Armstrong families from Tyrone and Fermanagh which settled about Oberon
and were neighbours.
George Bailey, farmer and grazier, died at Duckmaloi on 27 April 1882.
Margaret Bailey
and John Parkinson Mawhood were married Macquarie Plains near
Bathurst on 17 December 1851. Margaret, born 6 April 1831 in Ireland, was the
eldest of ten children born to GEORGE BAILEY and his wife JANE ARMSTRONG. John
Parkinson Mawhood had been born in 1822 at Kingston upon Hull in England, the
son of THOMAS MAWHOOD (born 15 May 1781, died 13 December 1849) and his wife
MARIANNE LEIGH of Hull.
Margaret bore John some fourteen children, eight in New South Wales and a further
six in England.

William Bailey,
born 1833 in Tyrone, married Jane Campbell on 5 November 1858
in Bathurst. Jane was born in 1838 in Edinburgh SCT, moving to Belfast IRL before
arriving in Australia in 1855. Jane, daughter of ROBERT and JANE CAMPBELL, arrived
in Sydney aboard the Gloriana on 27 July 1855. She was described as a
farm servant from Kiliomer, Co Down, where her mother still lived. Her father
had previously died in Belfast when stabbed by a pitchfork. Jane was an adherent
of the Church of Scotland, could read, had no complaints regarding her voyage
and was in good health.
William and Jane had ten known children:
William Bailey, 86, died on 15 July 1918 at Oberon NSW; Jane, 80, died on 10 April 1919 at Molong NSW, aged 74 years. Vicky Bailey (5 January 2004) identified William as William George Bailey, and his son as George Herbert Bailey).

The family lived at "Redbank" south of Oberon, and are mentioned by the writer ("Mitter Tarter") of How I Saw Oberon in his recount of a visit to the Inglis' in April-May 1908 — a recent printing of which includes two photographs of the Minnie and her first four children in front of their house (apparently a shingled wattle and daub affair, surrounded by a picket fence):
The death of Minnie Emma Bailey née Wilcox on 10 January 1947, aged 66 years, was registered at Oberon NSW in 1947. The death of John Parkinson Bailey on 21 June 1855, aged 77 years, was registered at Oberon in 1955.

The renowned Australian artist Brett
Whiteley, who overdosed on heroin at Thirroul on NSW’s Illawarra coast
south of Sydney, was apparently related to this line. Brett lived in the stepped
lower section of Walker Street, Lavender Bay (North Sydney), where many of his
sculptures were displayed among the Moreton Bay fig trees which formed a park
in the “street”. [This author lived in a flat opposite].
