Bailey Family or Bailey Farm Cemetery occupies a small portion of Crown Land in farming country north of St Albans and is cared for by the adjoining property owners.

The dates on the inscriptions range from 1826 to 1925.

Joe Sharman visited the cemetery in June 2011 and made digital images of all visible inscriptions. Joe's pictures may be viewed from the list of all inscriptions for this cemetery. That list was compiled with reference to the NSW online indices of births, deaths and marriages for additional information.
