We suggest that 'Bt.' is an abbreviation for Baronet. Sir John Edward George Bayley 2nd Bt. has a sister Elizabeth Magdalene Bayley died 26/2/1878 See: http://www.thepeerage.com/p12308.htm#i123072 LHB could refer to Sir Lyttelton Holyoake Bayley 1827-1910 (Magdalene's nephew?), who was Member of Legislative Council New South Wales in 1859 and who had four children including Isabel Constance Bayley. See: http://www.thepeerage.com/p49436.htm#i494353 Ella died 1873, Stanhope and Vernon were the two boys.
