BIRTH

 

There are two possible burials of John at Tysoe, from which he was born either in 1751 or in 1755.  This fits with his wife’s age as she was baptised in 1757.  No suitable baptism exists at Tysoe but there are many possible baptisms in the IGI.  13 in WAR alone between 1747 and 1759.  However the nearest baptism is in the parish of Broughton in OXF about 7 miles from Tysoe:

       1801 Frances BAYLIS was a witness to a marriage at Broughton

 

B 22May1763 William BAYLIS of Broughton

B 25Dec1782 Mary BAYLIS wid of Broughton

 

Since John baptised his second son William and his second daughter Mary and also used the names Elizabeth Frances and Hannah for other children, and the baptismal date agrees with the second burial age, this seems a very likely baptism.  The presence of Frances BAYLIS as a witness in 1801 is interesting.  She cannot be Fanny, the daughter of William baptised in 1763, as Fanny was married in 1788.  Could she be Frances BAYLISS-5 baptised 1783 at Tysoe dau of John & Mary, and thus granddaughter of William & Mary of Broughton?

MARRIAGE

 

Frances BAYLISS-5 was baptised at Tysoe WAR in 1783, daughter of John & Mary.  A series of baptisms to these parents at Tysoe is preceded by the following marriage at Tysoe

There are no other BAYLISS families at this time in Tysoe
