It has been driving me mad for a while now. There are other Thomas Benjamin Baileys born outside Wales but not looks very hopeful

If you haven't already got it you really need the marriage cert of Thomas Bailey and Gertrude James. It should give his age and father's occupation, which would help in narrowing the search . I can't see an obvious match for the family at the moment
