The Chief of House Bailey lives in Portland, Oregon and is probably the best resource in this matter. Bailey is a trade name and they were the individuals that manned the castle gates, enforced law and so forth under the fuedal governments. The Chief of House Bailey (his title is recognized under both Scottish and English law) teaches martial arts focusing on the Celtic Traditions in this area. This includes single stick, spiked targe, dirk, and unique Celtic forms of unarmed combat. In conversation with the Chief, I was informed that Bailey's in Ireland arrived shortly after Strongbow and were responsible in enforcing the laws and related matters in the English and Scottish holdings in Ireland. The name is now recognized as having an Irish connection.

Over the years, many variations of the name Bailey were recorded, including Baillie, Bailey, Bailie, Bayly, Bayley, Bailley, Baly, Ballye, Bayllie and many more.

First found in Northumberland where they were seated from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.

The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Bailey arrived in North America very early: Mary Bailey, who was listed as being in Virginia in the year 1619; Jonas Bailey, who was recorded in Maine in 1634; James Baillou who settled in Georgia in 1733 with his wife and son, Elizabeth, Mathew, Matty, Stewart, William Bailie, who all arrived in Philadelphia in 1804. John, Joseph, Mathew, Robert, Samuel, Thomas, Walter, William Bailey, who arrived in Pennsylvania between 1770 and 1840. Several of the name came to Newfoundland. Among them were Richard Bayly, who settled in Bay de Verde in 1675.
