Bailie surname in Portaferry
« on: Thursday 03 November 11 14:08 GMT (UK) »
The 1911 Census would suggest there were a few Bailie individuals and/or families in Portaferry in timescale:

Would be interested to hear from anyone with links to anysuch, and who may know if one of the individuals/families had a daughter Maggie/Margaret, possibly born c 1911 - 1915

Hi, not sure if this is of any use but I see a Margaret Cathleen Bailie,  baptised 1912, County Down, a Quaker according to birth record, father John Bailie mother Mary, don't see any other Bailies in Co. Down registered as Quakers or do I have any idea where this meeting house was located, perhaps someone with better knowledge of the county may be able to assist.

Regards

Will keep a note of that for further checking, thanks.

There are a number of Bailie family members buried in the Portaferry area mostly around the 1800’s. They are mostly in one particular graveyard.

....and where would that graveyard be in the Portaferry area?

Hi Folks ,
whilst looking at and photographing other graves I came across a Bailie grave the stone of which is still in fine order at Slans Graveyard near Portaferry. There are at least six names on the grave, Elizabeth[3] ( one nee Donnan), James , Francis, David, Francis . Circa 1821-1845. I intend to go back so will check if there are any others and post them for those members of the Bailie or Donnan clans.

Hi Folks,

Sorry for the lateness of my replies but I have been out of the country. I entered Francis twice. The grave stone was errected by John & Francis in memory of their father, David 'Dave' Bailie. d. 1/3/1821 (76yrs).

There is also a John d.31/5/1845. (52yrs)

Good luck
