- Harry Bailey was an insurance agent who ran away to Nottingham with Nellie Fairclough and her son Stanley in December 1962. As the Fairclough marriage had been in the doldrums, Nellie's husband Len accepted this and the couple divorced the following year, with Harry going on to marry Nellie and raise Stanley. When Nellie died in 1964, Harry told Len and offered to let Stanley live with him, but Len decided that Stanley was settled in Nottingham and should stay with Harry. Harry later sent Stanley to stay with Len for a short time in September 1967.

As the Fairclough marriage had been in the doldrums, Nellie's husband Len accepted this and the couple divorced the following year, with Harry going on to marry Nellie and raise Stanley. When Nellie died in 1964, Harry told Len and offered to let Stanley live with him, but Len decided that Stanley was settled in Nottingham and should stay with Harry. Harry later sent Stanley to stay with Len for a short time in September 1967. Ray Mort had previously played the virtually identical character of Ron Bailey. Presumably they were the same character with altered forenames but there is no conclusive evidence on screen of this.
- Harry is first seen as a 9-year-old sliding on a shovel through ice until he falls and slips. His then-12-year-old brother George, with help from his friends, saves him from drowning, only to get his left ear infected and become half-deaf. Because of this, George cannot join the army, even as he ages. Much later, when Harry graduates from high school, he is intended to take over the Bailey Building and Loan Association. George gives Harry his own college money so Harry could go to college. Much later, Harry becomes a Navy pilot for World War II and shoots down fifteen bombing planes for trying to kill men on a transport, saving all those men there, while a half-deaf George fights the battle of Bedford Falls instead. In the "Pottersville" sequence, it is shown that Harry died from drowning through the ice because George wasn't there to save him. Because of this, all men on the transport died. Finally, Harry makes a toast to George when the latter becomes the richest man in Bedford Falls.
