Seeking information on parents of James Clifford BAILEY b. 06 Jan 1895 in Michigan. By 1900 the family was living in Seneca Falls, Seneca, NY. The only clue we have as to his parents is that his mother was listed with his family on the 1900 NY Census. The first name however was almost illegible but appeared to be "Josephia"..she would have been born in approx 1864 in Michigan according to the 1900 NY Census. Her father was listed as having been born in France and her mother in Canada (noted that the mother spoke English). Anyone researching BAILEY recognize this obscure little group?
