Daniel BAILEY - (died 1808)

Daniel BAILEY married Ann WORGAN in 1778, the details in the Rockhampton parish registers, as transcribed by www.scribes-alcove.co.uk, are as follows...

MARRIAGE: 23 Apr 1778 at Rockhampton 
GROOM: Daniel Bailey
ABODE: Cowley 
BRIDE: Ann Worgan 
ABODE: Rockhampton 
WITNESSES: Robt Tanner, John Screen

********************************

Both at the time of his marriage and when he made his will, Daniel lived in Cowley, Gloucestershire - further investigation is required to discover if he was also born there. According to his will, signed on 9th May 1808, he was a timber merchant. His sole executrix was his wife, Ann, and the will was proved on 29th October 1808.

There is no evidence this couple had any children. However, they seem to have had links with Ann's nephew, Benjamin PITCHER, the younger (born abt. 1775 - son of Ann's sister, Margaret and her husband, Benjamin PITCHER, the elder). Benjamin and his wife, Sarah RICE, named two of their children, Ann Bailey PITCHER and Daniel Bailey PITCHER. These two children were born shortly after Daniel BAILEY died. Perhaps the fact that Benjamin was named as a beneficiary in Daniel's will prompted the choice of names or maybe Benjamin had already developed close bonds with his uncle and aunt and wanted to name his children in honour of them. Ann appears to have been buried in Coaley in 1823 - this was Benjamin's local church.
