Frederick William Bailey was born on 10 March 1849 in Haughley, Suffolk, as the fourth child of William Bailey, a blacksmith and Eliza Balls.The family lived in Ixworth, Suffolk and Frederick went to school in the local Ixworth area. He learnt his trade as a tailor early and in 1871 he is found living in Holy Trinity, Ely as a tailor. Not long after this he returned to Suffolk and on 1 July 1872 married the dressmaker, Alice Jane Madder.
Frederick and Alice while living at Bury St Edmunds then had two daughters, Lilly Alice Bailey, in 1875, and Louise Augusta Bailey in 1879. Sadly Alice Jane Bailey died in 1881 leaving Frederick to look after the two young girls.
Some years later Frederick Bailey, aged 38, married Sarah Ann Crosby, aged 33, on 14 November 1887 in Islington Middlesex. Frederick may have known Sarah Ann as she was also born and went to school in Ixworth, as the seventh child of William Crosby and Maria Taylor. Sarah Ann had been nurse maid to the Frost children in Islington for more than ten years when they were married. George Frost and his wife were the witnesses to Frederick and Sarah Ann's marriage.
Frederick and Sarah Ann again took up residence in Bury St Edmund, with Frederick as a tailor, and had three children: Frederick Norman Bailey in 1888; William Charles Bailey in 1889; and Grace Ethel Bailey in 1891. The girls of the first marriage stayed with Frederick and Sarah Ann for a while. Louisa moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada with her husband in about 1909.
In 1901 also living with Frederick, Sarah Ann and their three children was a Christopher Bailey, a distant nephew and James Madder, Frederick's first wife's brother.
The eldest child of Frederick and Sarah Ann, Frederick Norman Bailey did not marry. He served in the First World War and was killed in action on 9 April 1918, when aged 29. He was serving in France as a rifleman with the King's Liverpool Regiment. Frederick Norman Bailey is buried in the Loos Memorial Cemetery Pas de Calais, France. At that time Frederick William Bailey and Sarah Ann were still living at 82, Northgate St., Bury St. Edmunds. Frederick Norman Bailey received a "Dead Man's Penny", a British War medal and a Victory medal 1914-1918 featuring 'winged Victory'. The inscription around the medals reads "235071 PTE.F.N.BAILEY. L'POOL R.".
The second child of Frederick and Sarah Ann, William Charles Bailey, who as ayoung man went by the name Charles William Bailey, married Louise Florence Beresford in 1915 in Shoreditch, London. William and Louise lived in the Shoreditch area of London, had five children with Gladys Louise Bailey, born 5 February 1916, and Phyllis D Bailey born 22 July 1927, surviving to adults. Gladys Bailey married Sidney Cotton and adopted a baby daughter, Phyllis Bailey married Leonard Hodgkins and had two daughters and a son.
The third child and only daughter of Frederick and Sarah Ann, Grace Ethel Bailey took on the same profession as her mother, as a children's nurse or "nanny" to "well to do" families in England but also on ships between England and Australia.
After Frederick's death Sarah Ann Bailey moved to the London area to live with her son William Charles Bailey and his family.

Birth: UK GRO Apr-Jun 1891, Grace Ethel Bailey, Bury St E. 4a 800
Grace was a children’s' nurse or "Nanny" in England, and on ships between England and Australia for wealthy families.
Grace is not able to be found in the 1911 census in England.
Grace Bailey is first thought to have arrived in Australia on 27 April 1919 on the Balmoral Castle, as a nurse to the Burge family. She then entered again on 15 December 1919 travelling as the children’s' nurse to the Gibbs family. Having departed London on the Orient Orvieto on 1 November 1919. (Mr R.C.B Gibbs - 28 Director, Mrs D.E. Gibbs - 25 and Miss M.E. Gibbs - 4mth, Miss G Bailey - Nurse 29)
In the 1921 Electoral Role she was listed as living in the home of Dr and Mrs Bowker of Drumalby Rd Bellevue Hill. In 1922 Queenie Jenkins was also listed at that address and obviously became friendly with Grace. Grace then became a children’s' nurse to the Clarke family in Bellevue Hill, Sydney from September 1921. Her charge included "Nobby" Clarke the son of Sir Rupert Clarke. According to a note from Mrs Elsie Clarke, Grace Bailey was intending to visit her family in England in August 1922. It is not yet clear when she returned to Australia.
Grace E Bailey, aged 31, a nurse from Australia, was shown entering the UK with an intended address of 82 Northgate Bury St Edmunds on board the "Demosthenes" which arrived at London on 19 September 1922. She was most likely wanting to visit her parents in Bury St Edmuinds. Her father died in December 1923 at 82 Northgate Street of bowel cancer.
A Miss Grace Bailey a Governess most likely to the Buckley family is seen leaving the UK port of Southhampton on board the Rimutaka to Wellington, New Zealand on 16 October 1922. Her last address was listed as Ravenshiry? Gyford? and she was aged 28.
Grace then became nurse to the Richmond children at Goodooga NSW and travelled with the Richmonds back to England in about 1923. Grace Bailey is shown arriving back in Sydney as Nurse G E Bailey (to the Richmond family) in a passenger entry record on 30 March 1924. Having departed London on 9 February 1924 on the Blue Funnel Aeneas, (Maj George M Richmond - 40 sheep farmer, Mrs Grizel McL Richmond - 26, Miss Grizela L Richmond - 4, Mastr James Richmond - 2, Miss Mary C Richmond - 1, Miss Grace Bailey - 32 nurse(Richmond), Miss Janet Burnside - 25 nurse(Richmond), c/o AML & FCo - 20 Coleman St. London)
The Richmond family, that is Major George Richmond and Griselda Richmond, had four children and a property "Mogila" near Goodooga New South Wales, near the NSW-Queensland boarder. George Richmond bought Mogila in 1908, which subsequently became the home of George Richmond's son, James. One of the Richmond children that Grace Bailey looked after was Jamie Richmond, who was still on that property in 1987. It has now since been sold.
It is most likely that Grace met William Whitton in northern NSW while she was at Goodooga.
Marriage: NSW BDM 16303/1924 WHITTON WILLIAM E BAILEY GRACE E NORTH SYDNEY
On 29th December 1924 at Neutral Bay, NSW, William Edwin Whitton, bachelor born in Yorkshire, England a labourer aged 50 married Grace Ethel Bailey, spinster born in Suffolk, England a nurse aged 33. William's parents were George Whitton (a farmer) and Phyllis Woodward Milner (both deceased). Grace's parents were Frederick William Bailey (a master tailor) and Sarah Ann Crosby. Cecil B. and Charlotte Morrow witnessed the marriage of William Whitton and Grace Bailey.Charlotte Morrow was the godmother of Phyllis Whitton.
After marrying William Whitton in December 1924 Grace then left the Richmonds in April 1925 and returned to Sydney.
In the 1925 Electoral Role, Grace and William Whitton were listed at another home in Bellevue Hill. They did not stay long in Sydney returned to country NSW living on the Walhollow Station at Caroona near Quirindi NSW from about 1925 to 1933. In the 1928 Electoral Role both Grace and William Whitton were at Walhollow station in Caroona. It is understood that Queenie Jenkins, the friend of Grace, visited Grace at Walhollow station. Phyllis understands that Grace had asked Queenie to look after the children if anything happened to her.In the 1930 Electoral Roll Grace Ethel Whitton is shown living at 57 Barcom Avenue, Darlinghurst, home duties. She was known to have come to Sydney for the birth of Norman, her second child. In the supplemental section of the same roll she is also shown at Walhollow Station, housekeeper.
Walhollow Station can be found by heading out of Quirindi on the Gunnedah Road. About 9 km from Quirindi is the turnoff to Caroona and Spring Ridge. The unusually designed sandstone house with outbuildings, visible from the road, is the homestead of Walhollow Station which once covered some 1300 square km. This road passes through Caroona, which has an attractive little stone church and a 90-m bridge over the Mooki River.
The house in Caroona that Grace and William lived in with their two children, Phyllis and Norman, was on the opposite side of the river to Walhollow Station, so when the Mooki River was high it was sometimes difficult to get to the Station. Norman remembered that one day his father had to climb the railing on the bridge to get to the other side as the level part of the bridge was under water. Grace used to cook for the Station jackaroos who lived in a room at the back of their house. William worked at Walhollow station as a station hand. The house was also fairly close to the railway line as Norman said he was able to hear the trains. The McIlveen's lived next door.
Norman remembers yabbying in the water holes of the Mooki River with his sister Phyllis. One day while yabbying the river rose quickly and they had to stop.
After leaving Walhollow Station the Whitton family acquired a general store business at 300 Trafalgar St Annandale in Sydney.
Grace died on 23 August 1934, aged 43 from Influenza-Bronchitis. Her daughter Phyllis always thought she died from Pneumonia.
Death: NSW BDM 11562/1934 WHITTON GRACE E 43 YEARS ANNADALE ANN ANNANDALE
Death: 23 August 1934 at Duntroon Private Hospital, Johnston Street Annandale, aged 43. She was born in Suffolk, England and had been 15 years in NSW. She was married when aged 33 to William Edwin Whitton. Children were Phyllis aged 8 and Norman aged 4. Her husband was the informant and he did not know the father's name and stated her mother was Ann Bayley (sic).She was buried at Rookwood Cemetery, grave number REQ 1546 Section 12.
Grace Whitton's probate papers, which are held by NSW State Records (Series 4, Item 202169) show that she left her estate of 633 pounds to William Edwin Whitton of 300 Trafalgar St Annandale. At the time of her probate Phyllis Grace Whitton was aged 9 and Norman Whitton was aged 7. This business was sold after William's death in about 1937.
After Grace's death in 1934 Queenie Estelle Jenkins married the elderly William Whitton on 2 November 1935, as a step mother for Phyllis and Norman. This complied with her agreement to look after the children if anything happened to Grace. William then died in 1937 leaving Queenie alone with the children (Phyllis and Norman). Phyllis recalls that after her father's death a relative from England (Probably Charles William Bailey) wrote to Queenie and suggested that the children be put on board a ship for Portsmouth and he would look after them. They stayed in Sydney with their step-mother.
At the end of the second world war the Walhollow Station was broken up and sold (or allocated) as soldiers settlements.
