bullet  Notes:

Barnabas was the oldest son, and a fourth generation coal miner. He lived in the Willenhall area in Staffordshire, and was appointed Mine Agent under John Bagnall and other ironmasters in 1837. He had five children with his first wife Mary Parkes (qv) - all married and had families. Their eldest daughter Hannah married William Butler, a widower who was the son of a coal miner in Ettingshall near Wolverhampton, and built up a substantial brewing business which was eventually sold to form part of the Bass Charrington Group in the 1960s. They lived at Compton near Wolverhampton. Next was Samuel, who with his younger brother Joseph established S&J Bailey & Sons, Consulting Engineers and Surveyors in Birmingham. The two brothers lived in Edgbaston, and the firm was taken on by Samuel's sons Thomas and Ernest. Barnabas and Mary's younger daughter Anne (qv) married Edwin Thomas (qv), a canal engineer. Their other son John was educated at St John's College Cambridge, ordained in the Church of England, and became a Curate in Walsall and Vicar in Yorkshire and Cowes. He married three times: the Bailey, Stevens and Thomas families were closely connected through marriage.

Barnabas' wife Mary died in 1860, anda year later Barnabas married Mary Quinton, the daughter of a farmer in Bloxwich. Barnabas died at the age of 65 in Willenhall, and left several houses and land in Lane Head and New Invention in Willenhall to his children.
