Pontifex Family in Burke's Family Records


The Pontifex family are connected to the Bland family by marriage at least twice, and to the Bailey family once.  Burke's Family Records (the same people who put together Burke's Peerage) have some information about this family.  There is a mention of the Daniel Pontifex who married Harriet Bland, Ann Bland's sister, and their children; also of William Pontifex, who marries Mary Bailey, daughter of Edmund Bailey (I think this would be Lydia Bailey's niece).  There is no mention here of the marriage between John Elliot, son of Robert Elliot and brother of William Elliot, and his wife Harriet Pontifex.  






The website Char's Broken Branches has a picture of William Pontifex and Mary Bailey, as well as some interesting information on the business dealings of this family.
