(possibly Port Fairy) James b.1857 ? (possibly Port Fairy) William b.1859 (Ararat) George (This child is listed on the Birth Certificate of George Bailey without an age - may have died in infancy) George Bailey b.1861 (Geelong) Elizabeth b. 1864 (Geelong) Walter b.1866 (Cowies Creek) Agnes Purves b.1869 (Geelong) George's second Christian name 'BAILEY' does seem to have been the maiden name of his maternal grandmother Agnes PRINGLE (nee BAILEY). There appears to have been a lot of PRINGLES also in the Geelong area. Perhaps they were aunts, uncles and cousins.
