Dear Lists, Please forgive the paltry info. I don't have alot to go on and hope someday to make a connection. The Baileys were a quiet bunch,never said much unless something had to be said. Never a hint of family business or scandals,(sigh!) Here we go! Thomas Bailey married Katherine,sometimes seen as Sara Katherine. County unknown. Migrated to N.Y. USA. around 1836. Settled in Manhattan, NY. CHILDREN: 1) Johanna BAILEY/born in IRE circa 1835, married Bernard WALSH is listed in 1890 NY directory as widow of Bernard. One daughter known of Margaret. 2) John CAGE BAILEY/born circa 1836 in NY married Elizabeth CUSTER,settled in W.Va.. 3) Patrick Joseph,middle name?/born 1848 married Hemiliene Rutherford at St. Joseph's Church in Martinsburg, W.VA.. Is buried there with his Mother Katherine. Katherine died in 1879 at the age of 70 Patrick died in 1892 at the age of 44 Father, Thomas I have never found this elusive fellow,keep looking though. Hoping someone can give me something on Bernard Walsh. It is not as common as all the Johns,Pats and Toms. These BAILEYS and WALSHES have been tough adversaries. I'm beginning to think the fairies are at work. Yours In Friendship, Deanne
