Stephen,
Two of the surnames you mention -- Fryer and Bailey -- are also mentioned in a letter to my great grandmother, Sarah Matilda (Scholey) Brundage, from her first cousin once removed, Henry T. Scholey of Centreville, NB, Canada. The letter is dated 24 August 1899, and he introduces his family:
"I have like yourself one son (30) Charles Harry called after uncle Charles another son Justus Herrick (26) named after Justus Herrick who married uncle Chas. adopted daughter - My eldest girl Josephine Emma (named both for my father and mother) who is a graduated nurse of the Mass. Gen'l Hospital and who has been very successful in her calling - my fourth child Sarah Margaret (Sarah after my dearest friend Aunt Sarah Johnson) is my clerk in the store which we keep in this village - my fifth is Emily Lindsay who is teaching her first school - and six more: Annie Tyson - Helen May - Leo Bailey - Foster Bowie - Dorothy Jane and John Frier (after our London cousin) still attending school - Charley is in Seattle - Justus Herrick in Kaslo, British Columbia. Both doing fairly well. So if my boys can settle down and make homes it is possible that the name will continue to exist probably more numerously on this continent than on the island which furnished it."
It's clear from the letter that Henry T. was the son of Joseph and Emma Scholey. Online sources indicate that Joseph was a son of Benjamin and Ann Scholey of Crowle, Lincolnshire. In addition to a daughter, Hannah, Benjamin and Ann had at least three other sons: Thomas (my ggg grandfather, I think; there was more than one Thomas Scholey in Crowle), John, and Benjamin. John was christened 7 October 1798 and is probably the John Bailey Scholey you mention, since that would indeed make John Fryer Scholey Henry T.'s cousin. (Henry also had a brother named John Bailey Scholey who emigrated to the United States and died in 1891 in Rochester, Monroe, New York. He mentions "uncle Charles," whom I can't place, but who could be another son of Benjamin and Ann.)
My great grandmother's father was Henry Johnson Scholey of Crowle, son of Thomas Scholey and Mary Johnson. He (Henry J.) emigrated around 1830 and settled in Coldwater, Branch, Michigan. I have some additional information, including some follow-up on several of Henry T.'s children if you're interested.
Hope this helps your research.
