THE BAILEYS OF CAM
notes by P John Partington
INTRODUCTION
I’ve done almost no research on this south Gloucestershire family
yet. The younger Sarah married my wife’s maternal ancestor
William Bennett in the mid-eighteenth century – for further details see
my notes on the Bennett family.
LEONARD & SARAH BAILEY
Leonard and Sarah had a daughter Sarah, baptized
at Cam, in south Gloucestershire, in 1720. Leonard died on 27
November 1732 and Sarah (senior) on 19 July 1759; both were
buried at Coaley, Gloucestershire.
SARAH BAILEY (c.1720 - aft. 1764)
Leonard & Sarah’s daughter Sarah
was baptized in Cam on 27 February 1720. She married William Bennett, by whom she had eleven
children: Isaac, John baptized in 1748, Ashfield in 1749, William
in 1751, Sarah, Mary, Daniel in 1759, Leonard Bailey in 1760, James,
Charlotte and Keturah in 1765. William and Sarah farmed first at
Eastwood, near Thornbury; then at “The Oakleys”, Berkeley; and finally
at Norton’s Farm, Henbury. A grandson, James Bennett, records
that both William and Sarah died “at an advanced age” at Henbury.
