Hiya Paul,

Good to hear from you .... I know my Dad enjoys it when he catches up with you in Manchester :-)

I'd love to come over and see what you have on the family history ... I've put what I know into a family tree on this site and opened it up for public viewing (I think I've done it right) last night so you should be able to view it ... have you had a look?

If you can't see it let me know and I'll check it out.

Perhaps we could get together one evening or a weekend soon?

Cheers .... all the best .. Chris.

Hi, My name is Chris Baylis (I am Paul Baylis's cousin). We have some family anecdotes that link our family with the Brumby name .... I'd have to check with my dad to see what he can remember ..... but I think that someone in the 1850's married a Brumby in and around Ulverston. If it's of interest to you let me know and I'll ask my dad for what he knows.

Thanks.

Would you have any information on Charles Whiffing? My 3rd great-grandfather was Robert Whiffing born 1830 and was related to Charles. I am interested in their mother, Priscilla.

Hi Ed,
Wow, I can't even figure out what relation that makes us! Distant at best. My Great-Grandmother was Kitty (Catherine) Fleischhauer's Aunt, Katherine Nolkemper Loeffler. Kitty's mother was Emma Nolkemper Fleischhauer. I know Kitty's father John, is in the family plot, but I don't find Kitty or Emma in the index. I need to take a trip to Cedar Grove again, and visit the office this time to get a complete list of who is buried there. Most of what I know of the family, is through my research, since my immediate family lost contact with the Nolkemper branch when Katherine died in 1956. My Aunt knew Kitty, but didn't recall if she was married. My Aunt is 89 years old, and unfortunately her memory is sporadic. As I said, most of the information I found in Newspaper articles and I have found a marriage record for Kitty and Van. I have the article announcing their marriage, and would be happy to send a copy if you are interested. Unfortunately, my Ancestry membership has expired and it will be a little bit before I re-join. You need to be a member to view others trees. I'll make note of your tree and check it our when I re-join. If you are interested in taking a look at my tree, I can send you an invite. I've recently made it private, due to problems with it being copied incorrectly to others trees. Thanks for your response, good to meet someone researching the same names.

Yes, this sounds familiar. Hi, Vans first wife was Catherine Boyle. His parents were Van Wyck Baylis and Ella Nora Gritman. Your Van would be my great grand uncle. Check out my tree 'FAMILY' (all capitals). I have extensive information listed on this family. I hope this helps. Please keep me informed with any information that you can add to the family. Thanks, Ed McDowell.

Re: Baylis Family of Long Island NY

turtlroc — 2012-04-12 00:08:21Z

Seems there were many Van Wyck Baylis. In my ancestry, there is a Van Wyck Baylis who married Kitty (Catherine) Fleischhauer, 14 Jul 1928 in Greenlawn, NY. I believe this was a second marriage for Van Wyck. I know they lived in Lon Island City, Queens and later moved to Greenlawn in Suffolk County near Kitty's family. It was mentioned in the wedding announcement I found , it was a small ceremony with only a few friends and relatives present, due to the recent death of the grooms mother. I do not know his parents names. I also know he is buried in the Nolkemper Family Plot in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Queens, he died 22 Jun 1949. The Nolkemper's were Kitty's mother's family. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

David, thank you very much indeed. It had struck me that they might have emigrated but I didn't pursue it at the time. Jane Fairman's mother Jane HINGSTON was my 1st cousin, 3x removed.

My mother was a HINGSTON, her grt-grandfather (who emigrated to Canada) being a brother of Jane Hingston's father Richard the bootmaker who lived in France for a time. See my tree Hingston, Geraty & Kupke.

Thanks again!

Sarah A Williams Baylis Photo Album

gaineslee — 2011-07-20 20:54:14Z

I have just seen an item on Ebay that a Williams or Baylis family might be interested in. It's a group of photos of an African American Family. The album was given to Sarah Williams in 1882. A postcard to Aunt Sarah Baylis is also included. There are a total of 17 photos. it would be wonderful to see it go to an interested family member. Anyone know someone with ties to this family?

Hi Dottie, try this. On you Ancestry home page scroll down to the 'search' boxes. Under name type in Ella Nora Gritman, Under place where may have lived type in 'New York', and hit search. This should lead you to a photo of her and a marriage certificate. Click on one of these and it will bring up an enlarged photo and to the right will be her name in green, click on that and it should bring you to my page. Now just start looking around, you will find alot of good info. Ed

Reading all the messages, there were a lot of Van Wyck Baylis'. I'm new at this, so I don't know how to get on "FAMILY" to see other names. My father was born, Jan.29, 1916. His father died when he was 6 yrs old & his mother died when he was 16 (I think). There are 2 of my first cousins still on Long Island that I am in touch with. I'll find out if they have any more info.

HI, My name is Ed McDowell, I'm guessing that you are Dorothy? If you are, we are 2nd cousins once removed. We have common ancestors in your GGgrandparents/my GGGgrandparents Van Wyck Baylis and Ella Nora Gritman. There is quite a bit of infomation on our family, please have a look. My tree is named 'FAMILY'. I can also be contacted at my e-mail address macgt40@optonline.com.

Re: Baylis Family of Long Island NY

dddaly — 2011-03-25 20:04:37Z

My father's name is Van Wyck Baylis. His family was originally from Seaford,LI, NY. He grew up in Queens, NY.
His father's name was Harry & his mother was Anna Runger.
His siblings were Emma, Lillian, Anna, Harold, Robert & Gladys. My father was married to Ruth Verity from Seaford.
Harry Baylis was injured while working for the Long Island Railroad. He died a week later from those injuries. He was only 37. I think the year was 1922. I have no idea who my father's grandparents were. I would appreciate any other information.

The Baylis(s) family of Aston, Birmingham, Warwickshire

martinnoakes — 2011-02-05 13:55:57Z

My 3xgt aunt was Kezia Smith, born in Aston, Warwickshire. She married Eli Baylis, born in 1854 in Birmingham. His mother was Maria, born in 1831 in London. His mother was a widow in the 1861 and 1871 Census Returns, but appears not to have been married in 1851. His father must therefore have married after 1851, but died, leaving three children, before 1861. If you are a descendant, or know how Eli connects to other Birmingham Bayliss or Baylis families, I would be very interested in hearing from you.

Re: Baylis in London

sues82 — 2010-08-05 00:07:30Z

Hi,
I have had a merry chase sorting out Samuel alias John.
I purchased the birth certs for John and Annie and both have Samuel as the fathers name. They are the only ones born in London and Annie has her birth place as London in all the census. A cousin has a medal awarded to Samuel Baylis from Bromsgrove School so I always thought there was a Samuel with a brother John.
I am descended from Annie b1853. She married Stephen Wall 17/7/1875 in St James the Great Bethnal Green with John and Lydia as witnesses. I have tried to find Lydia and John with no luck but now I know they migrated. Stephen and Annie migrated to Adelaide in 1908 with their son Edward and my grandmother came in 1912 and her 2 sisters at other times. Thery may have been influenced to come here by John and Lydia. Annie died 17/7/1939.
The family still live in Adelaide.
I have photos of Annie.
Would love to make contact to confirm other details. sues82@hotmail.com is probably best.

Re: Baylis in London

Kelljd — 2010-08-04 08:51:43Z

Hi Sue,

I'd love to hear more from you, I had no idea Ann migrated to South Australia as well. I found out that she married Stephen Wall in 1875 and have a record of 5 children.

Email me at clandyer@bigpond.com and I would be more than happy to share info with you. If you are local to Adelaide we could perhaps meet up.

Regards,

Kelly.

Hi,

I have responded to you already via email but wanted to say thanks for the photo, I think I see a family resemblance to the older lady who may be Lydia. Lydia's husband John Baylis died in 1904 in the lunatic asylum. I have never seen photos of any of the family.
Thanks,

I do have some information on Lydia Langley who married John Baylis. Her daughter Cecilia married my great-uncle Ernest Finlay. The son who was born on the way to Australia was given the name Arundel because they came on the Arundel Castle.

I think the attached photo shows Lydia, and Cecilia with her husband and daughter, and my grandfather.

Hello
My Hannah is Hannah Beaman. Haven't managed to find mine in the 1861 census yet but I know they had at least 3 children - Martha, Decimus & Mary - hope this narrows down your search. Good luck

Re: Baylis in Worcestershire

Kelljd — 2009-03-21 21:28:25Z

Hello,

I have a Benjamin Baylis born 1813 (baptised 31 Dec 1813 at St. John the Baptist Bromsgrove to John and Ann), and I think he married Hannah Ryland (also born in Bromsgrove) in 1845 in Kings Norton. He was a grocer and lived in Edgbaston in 1851 and then the trail becomes a bit less clear - you also have Benj and Hannah and I have found a family of Benj & Hannah living in Birmingham in 1861(may be yours or mine?). I guess there were two separate families. I haven't gathered much info on other Baylis's outside of Bromsgrove. Do you know of any links to this area with your family?

Sorry I'm not much help!

Re: Baylis in Worcestershire

jacquelinebayliss1 — 2009-03-21 13:17:47Z

i'm researching my husband's family & am back as far as Benjamin Baylis born around 1811 in Worcestershire. In 1859 he was a weaver and living in Kidderminster and married to Hannah Beaman.

Re: Baylis - Roadknight - Irwin

RosieAlley1 — 2009-02-12 03:25:23Z

Hi again,
I would like to get in contact with you Barbara Alexander or other descendants of the above people. My new email is cralley@iprimus.com.au
I have pieced together a bit more of the story which wasn;t clear to me at the time I was writing the reply above.
I now think that Ida Marguerite Haill Baylis, an English girl, the daughter of Alice Roadknight and Wm Haill Baylis, married Hamilton William Irwin, an Australian soldier, in England in 1918, at the end of the war. He was shipped back to Australia just after that, and I think she must have come out on a war brides ship shortly afterwards. I haven;t been able to find any records of her travelling over. Hamilton was training as a chemist until war broke out and when he returned he wanted to continue his training, but I don;t know for sure what happened after that. I think Ida and Hamilton lived at 17 Mitchell St Monto in Queensland, Australia, not England as I thought Barbara Alexander meant.
I don't know the children they had, obviously at least one as Barbara is their grandchild.
Ida's parents and siblings also emigrated to Australia in 1926, Alice and William Haill Baylis, sister Freda and son...arrggh can;t remember his name! Not sure where they all lived. Possibly NSW. If anyone has any further info i would love to hear from you.
THANKS
Rosie Alley

Baylis in Worcestershire

Kelljd — 2009-02-04 02:21:17Z

Looking for Baylis family from the Bromsgrove area. John Baylis a grocer and his wife Ann married c1810 (could be Ann Horton, more than a few John and Ann's in this era). Children were (John Horton? 1810); George 1811, Benjamin 1813, Anne and Sarah 1818, and Samuel 1823 (all baptised in Bromsgrove). I'm having trouble tracing their origins. I found John as a widower in the 1851 census as being born in Worcestershire but place unknown. Samuel, also known as John, moved to London.
There were a few other families in Bromsgrove around this time which may be linked.

Would love to hear from anyone with possible connections.

Re: John Baylis

Kelljd — 2009-02-04 02:11:34Z

I'm replying to my own thread ... I have found John's birth in 1849 in Marylebone. His parents were Samuel and Elizabeth nee Morgan. It seems John's father interchanged his name between Samuel and John, no idea why! No wonder the confusion... Samuel (alias John) was born 1823 in Bromsgrove Worcester and his wife ELizabeth Morgan born 1819 in Chelsea, London. Samuel/John had 2 other children Ann (1853) and Lizzy (1857). Lizzy married Robert William Hickman Riches.

I'd still like to hear from anyone connected to these London Baylis's.

Baylis in London

Kelljd — 2009-02-04 02:05:05Z

I have a Samuel Baylis alias John Baylis born c1826 in Bromsgrove Worcestershire, married Elizabeth Morgan 1848 in Paddington London. Samuel was named Samuel at the time of his marriage and in the census years 1861 and 1881 but was named John in census years 1851 and 1871. They had 3 children, John born 1849 in Marylebone, Ann born 1853 in Paddington and Lizzy born 1857 in Paddington. John jnr married Lydia Langley in Bethnal Green in 1875 and Lizzy married Robert William Hickman Riches in 1877 in Camberwell. John and Lydia migrated to Australia and Lizzy's son Frederick also migrated to Australia, marrying John and Lydia's daughter.

Would love to hear from anyone with any possible connections.

jane_sweet — 2008-03-12 00:28:20Z

I am looking for the family of Ernest BAYLIS coachman & Jane FAIRMAN who married in Wandsworth in 1888. At the time of their marriage Ernest was living at Newlands, Somerset Road, Wimbledon. His parents were Edwin BAYLIS coachman and his wife Emma. Jane's parents were Jane HINGSTON & Joseph FAIRMAN. Jane (the mother) later married Charles WHIFFING in Wandsworth.

The children of Ernest & Jane were Ethel, Isabel and Edwin. In 1891 they were living in Slough, in 1901 in a cottage at the back of Holmer House in Holmer & Shelwick, Herefordshire. Thanks very much.
