Hi Elizabeth
Here are a few things that I know re John and Mary Bailey who came July 1841 on the Westminster.
These are my great great grandparents and I have really hit a brick wall here.
Mary Parsons parents were James Parsons and Dinah Paull as per Marys death cert, Mary was born c 1815. Eliza Tait wife of Enoch Alexander Bailey for some reason called herself Eliza Elizabeth and other times the correct name of Eliza Jane Tait. Eliza was born to ) born 1850 Sydney and baptised 26th Dec 1852 no B1852/600/vol.38a
As you know they came from Somerset England, this is also on Mary`s death cert, so probably true.
Mary was Mary Parsons born c1815 dau of parents were James Parsons and Dinah Paull, before marriage to John Bailey, when they married. I wish I could find out and wish I knew the name of the baby that died on board Westminster.
They left the ship at Melbourne and lived at Coburg, Pentridge, Merri Creek and Brunswick. They as you have already researched had Enoch Alexander (Anak Baylay on the church records) born exactly 1 year after they landed July 29 1842 and baptized 1843 then John Bailey Jr was born 1844.
Before John Bailey Snr died aged 46 at Pentridge John and Mary must have separated as Mary had children to Edward Burt whom she married 6 weeks after John died, at Presbyterian church, Melbourne. These were Edward James Burt born 1850 Hannah Moreland Burt born 1853 and Louisa Elizabeth Burt.
All of these except my great grand father Enoch Alexander Bailey pre deceased their mother Mary who married for a 3rd time a William Mcnie who died 1877. Mary Parsons Bailey Burt Mcnie died at Elmore Bridge hotel 1882.
This is only a short version off the top of my head but will look at my records for more info. Woderful web site, wonderful dedication.
Enoch Alexander Bailey wed 1867 #110 to Eliza Elizabeth Tait from Sydney, but she is not in NSW births index
She called herself Eliza Elizabeth and other times the correct name of Eliza Jane Tait, was born to James Tait and Grace Stevenson (Tait also spelt sometimes Tate) born 1850 Sydney and baptised 26th dec 1852 no B1852/600/vol.38a
Cheers Meryle
