Walter George Bailey: He was born in Woodboro in the Pewsey district of Wiltshire in late 1861 and was christened 22 December 1861 in the Alton Barnes parish of Wiltshire. His parents were Thomas Landon, a "lath render" born about 1832 at Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, and Ann/a (nee Harris; she was born about 1823 at Wellcott, Wiltshire) Bailey. His parents had married in the spring of 1859 in the Pewsey district of Wiltshire. Walter's known brothers and sisters were Henry James, b. 1860, Thomas, b. 1863, Albert, b. 1865 and John, b. 1866. In 1871, the Bailey family lived Woodborough, Wiltshire. Walter was 9 years of age at the time. Also present in the household was Walter's grandfather Richard Harris, 82, a widowed blacksmith born in Wilcott, Wiltshire, about 1788. There was also a lodger, James Coles, 24, an unmarried blacksmith who hailed from Devizes, Wilthsire, living with the Bailey family at the time. Walter first married a Rosina Harris 15 March 1881 at Colchester, Essex, and they had a son, Albert Victor, born 23 July 1887 in the Sevenoaks area of Kent. In 1891, he lived at Washington Avenue in Christchurch, Hampshire, with wife Rosina and son Albert. He was noted as a builders' machinist at the time. Rosina Bailey died in Christchurch in the second quarter of 1891, aged 28. He then married Jessie Hanford 16 February 1901 at Loughborough, Leicestershire, in the Church of England tradition. In 1901, he was a woodwork machinist, living with wife Jessie Annie in Loughborough, Leicestershire; his son Albert Victor, 13, and daughter, Ivy, an infant lived with them at the time. In 1911, the Bailey family lived in Shepshed, Wiltshire, and Mr. Bailey was described as a woodworking machinist in the horticultural works industry. He was employed by Messrs. Messengers at Loughborough. The Bailey family had come to St. John, New Brunswick, Canada, 27 April 1912, and were likely bound for British Columbia. Local press in 1915 stated the Baileys had lived in British Columbia for quite some time and that Mr. Bailey had been fruit growing there. The Cunard Line stated that the Bailey family's point of origin was Nelson, British Columbia. All three Baileys were lost when the Lusitania was sunk.
