The Bailey / Burnside Familes – Our
Canadian Connection

Sad News 28th January 2017

I have heard through my cousin Jackie Dorling (nee Cooper) that Barbara Burnside passed away this morning. This information was picked up through Facebook, and more will be added if and when it becomes available. Thanks Jackie.

I met Barbara and Hazel Bailey, her cousin (through marriage to Reg) a few years ago when she last came to the UK to visit Hazel Cooper. We met up in Blackpool where they were staying for a few days - happy memories.

Sad News July 2014

Barbara Burnside has notified me of the passing of Reg Bailey on the 18th July 2014 - our thoughts are with the family at this sad time.

Reg Bailey - update April 2015

During April 2015 I received a message from Angela Pilkington through Barbara Burnside, alerting me to a video clip (see below) of Reg Bailey describing his life in the Canadian town of Schreiber. The video was an interview with the Mayor and was taken shortly after his 89th birthday. I hope you enjoy watching as much as I did.

The following gallery of photographs are of the descendants of George Enoch Bailey- my thanks go to Barbara Burnside.

Barbara tell me that this was one of the last good pictures taken (1993) of her and David before he sadly passed away in 1995, aged 74.

Raymond Bailey (1882-1972) and Annie Chambers (1881-1965) were born in the UK and were married in 1908.

The family portrait, left , taken in August 2002 is of second son, Reg, Hazel and family.
