Bagley family

[janreb]

I am looking for any descendants of Elizabeth Mary Bagley (nee Bates) and William Bagley. Elizabeth ran a coffee shop at 164 Lichfield Road, Aston before WW2 and her son had a tobacconists next door.
Am also interested in the brass industry as the Bagleys were brassfounders, and the story is they are connected to the Bagleys of Chacombe, who were bell founders.

Could the name be Bayley? My Grandmothers family were all in the brass industry as well, and lived in Smethwick and Aston.

It is definitely Bagley - the Bagley family go back to the Bagley bellfounders in the 1600s who came from Northhampton.

Billy Bagley was a friend of my father's in the early thirties but he was a coalman and I never met him. It may help with your search if you checked the coalman thread. Regards, David..

Thanks David, I'll look at that side and see what I can find.
