Peggy Bailey was adopted by my grandfather
Dear Roy
Peggy Bailey was adopted by my grandfather William Bailey just before the second world war thus her name change.
She joined a family of five children my mother Catherine Bailey(married name Murphy),William Bailey, Noni Bailey all from mother Nora Bailey(nee McCarthy)and John and Maureen Bailey from his second unmarried partnership with their mother.
They lived in Queensbury in North London at the time.
According to my mum they were a very musical family and used to have musical evenings every weekend after a good cycle to Windsor.
My mum left her dad's home in Queensbury when she was 15 to live with her mother in Campden Town and lost contact with her second family but my uncle Bill kept in contact and told us that Peggy moved to Canada and lived with her family in Ontario.
regards
Karen

Hi Karen and welcome to the Brit-Gen forums.
Roy hasn't visited the forums since December 2014 but hopefully he is still using the same email address as he had back then and will receive notification of your post. It would be a shame for him to miss out on the vital piece of information you have provided and thank you for taking the time to join and provide it.
Sending a private message (pm) is another way to get in touch and you do this by clicking on Roy's avatar and choosing Private message from the drop down menu. However this also relies on the person still using the same email address.

Hello Karen; Many of my contacts (including my mother) who lived in the same street as young Peggy have since passed away. I say young Peggy but as you will be aware Peggy Bailey was her stage name. I know she was related to the Davies family of Charles Street, Brithdir, in fact Peggy was a niece of Mrs Davies (nee Thomas) and I recall Mrs Davies kept a framed photo of 'Peggy' on her living room wall and she said Peggy's birth name was Margaret Elizabeth Thomas. Mrs Davies also said she married Bill Campbell. I have been told by others that Peggy's mother was Jane Watts; which has left me a little confused. You say Bill Campbell adopted Peggy; were they not married?
