notes from Commons creator page edit
- A genealogy post suggests his dates may have been 1802-1852: James BAILEY engraver and Fishmonger (born ca. 1802 (possibly at 8 August 1802 at Stepney) and died 4 January 1852 in Bermondsey) http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/LONDON/2000-01/0948488632 Though that would make him only 16 when engraving for Pyne's Royal Residences in 1818
- The Library of Congress gives his dates as "fl. 1780-1815", which seems curious when it then cites a plate from 1828.
- Ash Rare Books credits him as "James Bailey (fl. 1780-1838)" with regard to a 1798 engraving of Saltwood Castle in Sussex. http://www.ashrare.com/hythe_prints.html
- The University of Reading cites an engraver called John Bailey, with dates 1750-1819 http://www.reading.ac.uk/merl/online_exhibitions/livestok/index.html . This is c:John Bailey (agriculturist). Russell (1979), Guide to British Topographical Prints gives this as the engraver of aquatints. But he was based in the North, at Chillingham in Northumberland.
- The Survey of London notes a James Bailey who was resident at 19 Percy Street from 1776–1781, who it says "may have been the engraver". http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=65153
