The Bailey familyKelly's Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Brentford, Gunnersbury and Chiswick Directory ("Buff Book") for 1907 shows: The 1911 census for 17 Adelaide Road provides more information: The Bailey's home had six rooms, sufficient for the three adults recorded in 1911. Henrietta completed information about the length of her marriage - 53 years - and children -15 of whom 12 survived; as she was a widow this was not required, but it helps explain the number of individuals shown in the family portrait.
