Thanks for response, must be my lucky day.  Hav'nt been on roots chat for a while so only just seen message so apologies for the silence. 

There is a Edith bailey B grafton Underwood c1892.  The only snag is her middle name was different to my Edith matilda.  Her father is said to be a George William Bailey.   But there is hope as at long last i have today been in contact with the grandaughter of Edith.  Hence my lucky day.  I am just waiting for more info, so fingers crossed the puzzle may be solved.   My tree is on Ancestry uk under Orridge.

 Many thanks

Hi Julie,
Please let me know how you get on with the granddaughter of Edith and if indeed this is the correct George William .  I have lots more information about this family since my last post although unfortunately, for you, it's all about George William's aunts & uncles. One who emigrated to Australia in 1837 and became one of the first pioneers.
 
It would appear that George William is also on the 1911 census for Kettering Union Workhouse.  Age 63, born Grafton Underwood. Farm Labourer, Inmate.

Regards,
Chris.

Hello again chris,

Been in contact with grandaughter of Edith but it seems to confirm the secrecy surrounding her background.  oddly they lived in whissendine and Oakham where grandad and mum lived.
   
There  is a Joseph bailey as witness to her marriage in oakham but no idea of the connection.  Please keep in touch if anything comes up.

Hi chris,  Do you have a tree on ancestry by any chance.  Have got no further with George Wiliam Bailey, or his daughter Edith.  (if he is the true father)   There is no way of confirming his birth place or if he is the same George from Grafton underwood.  Clutching at straws for any hints.  His occupation on the certificate in 1916 was Stationary Engine Driver.
