Sir Joseph Bailey, 1st Baronet

Sir Joseph Bailey, 1st Baronet (21 January 1783 – 20 November 1858), was an English ironmaster and Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP).

Joseph was the second child of a further five children to be born in Great Wenham (the others being an older sister, Susan, and three younger siblings, John, Thomas and Crawshay).

He was involved in the iron industry in South Wales and served as High Sheriff of Monmouthshire for 1826.

Their daughter Jane married James Stuart Menteath, 2nd Baronet of Closeburn and Mansfield.

As his eldest son had predeceased him in 1850, he was succeeded in his title by a grandson, Joseph Russell Bailey, who in 1899 was elevated to the peerage as Baron Glanusk.
