Extract from the Stock Exchange Memorial Book:
SECOND LIEUT. EDWARD VINCENT BAYLEY, Royal Air Force, was the second son of James Bayley, of Willaston Hall, Nantwich. He was born in 1885, educated at Marlborough, and became a member of the Stock Exchange in 1909. He was a good shot and keen rider to hounds. An illness prevented him from joining the army until the second year of the war. He then joined the South Staffordshire Regiment, and shortly afterwards was transferred to the R.A.F. He was killed at Vendôme in an accidental crash on 24 February 1917 (Cited from:
