In 1725 Edward signed a petition to use money to build an extension to the Market House In 1735 he appears as the Tetbury’s Carnals Officer (responsible for quality of meat), Ale Taster (responsible for quality of ale) and served on Court Duty In 1737 he was Wardsman of the Court He again appears as Ale Taster in 1739, in addition to being Constable of the Court In about 1745 Edward Baily promised 10/6 Subscription for a new Engine for ye use in Tetbury He again appears as Constable of the Court in 1749, in addition to being Surveyor of the Tetbury Highways He appears on the Court Leet in 1746, 1754 and 1762 As the town’s tailor he also took on several apprentices. Tetbury’s accounts show that he received payments, around 1735 of: 1s 6d for making Lidia Smith's gown 1s 6d for making Sharp's gown 4s 6d for making Smith's boy two coat It has not been possible to conclusively identify Edward’s parents: Edward the tailor was of similar age (born c 1700) as Edward the pig dealer (born c 1687) - both of whom lived in Tetbury. While later records clearly differentiate between the two of them by referencing their trades, possible baptism records and mentions in wills do not do so. The will of Ann Kemble of Cricklade (dated 1701) makes bequests to Elizabeth, wife of John Baily, tailor of Highworth. Given most of the other relatives in the will are of Tetbury or the surrounding area, this is a connection worth exploring further.
