Bailey, Murrells & Co are

Bevington) Mr Bailey joined John Bevington at the Swan Works, Elm Street, Hanley c.1867-72 as "Bailey & Bevington" |
| 1866 | 1871 | W. L. Evans & Co | Probably the works were divided because in 1866-70 the works were recorded as being in the hands of W. L. Evans & Co (the '& Co' probably includes John Bevington). |

Evans & Co., and in 1871 to Neale, Harrison & Co., who gave up the manufacturing and confined themselves to decoration only. The were succeeded by T. A. Simpson, who continued to about 1887."
