Here is their gravestone: http://www.gravemarkers.ca/ontario/centont/simcoe/orillia/standrew/blocka/ba iley5.jpg Based on this marriage record, it looks like they came before 1838. Found this marriage registration for a son on ancestry: Name: John Bailey Age: 23 Birth Place: Orillia Spouse Name: Dunn, Catharine Spouse Age: 20 Spouse Birth Place: Orillia Marriage Date: 7 Mar 1862 Spouse Father Name: Thomas Dunn Spouse Mother Name: Margaret Jamieson Microfilm Roll: 1030064 Father Name: Robert Bailey Mother Name: Ann Linton Spouse residence: Orillia Residence: Orillia County: Simcoe Marriage Place: Orillia St James Church seems to have some information on Robert as a patron in 1841-49 : http://www.stjamesorillia.com/history.html A search of the Simcoe Settlers Database (http://www.simcoebogs.com/database/settlersdata_list.php) shows a Robert Bailey dying in 1885 and Ann (nee Linton) on May 4, 1888. I did a quick look for death registrations but have not found any... A pic of their stone is here: http://www.gravemarkers.ca/ontario/centont/simcoe/orillia/standrew/blockh/ba iley2.jpg, unfortunately nothing on their stone regarding where they were from... There is another Ann Bailey ( don't think this is your Ann though) in the Settlers Database who died May 16, 1887 and this is her death record from: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onvsr/death/deathindex_ba-bd_new.htm: BAILEY, Ann, f, May 16, 1887, 81 years, Belfast Ireland, cause - old age, infm - J.T. Bailey, Orillia (Simcoe Co.) 015847-87 I looked at the Orillia newspaper index for a Bailey obit (or marriage record etc): http://news.ourontario.ca/orillia/search.asp but the only hit I got was J.T Bailey (referenced in the "other" Ann Bailey above) In the 1891 Canadian Census's people were asked for their immigration year and the country of birth for their mother and father. If you have the names of any children before Martha it might be possible to search for this person in the census (or BMD records) to see if any info can be found that can point to where the family came from. Martha noted that both her parents were from Ireland in the 1891 census.. Sorry not much help but maybe the maiden name of Ann may help if you did not know if previously.

Johnson Sent: August-02-10 12:35 AM To: Administrator Subject: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Robert Bailey and his wife Anne Bailey Dear Listers, I am looking for any details I can obtain for my paternal GGGrandfather, Robert Bailey and his wife, Anne living in Orillia (Upper Canada) at the time of the 1841 Census. According to 1841 Census, they were born in Ireland 1808 and 1810 and were FC religion. My father always told me they were from Donegal, Ireland. ***************** Ten People All Genealogists Should Follow On Twitter: http://tr.im/hBAy Simcoe Co.
