Hello ZKT,
heywood here from the other thread.
I am confused here because I thought I read in another thread that you had discounted Bernard 1 who I thought was this one in this thread because he was too young on discharge.
Is Bernard 2 the one born Aweston? I hd thought it was the other one sorry.
regards
Kath

ZKT.
Something that has not been considered is that this place, Baluawak Kow is not an 'original' Anglicised word but a word spelt by a person listening to an Irish placename being pronounced. It sound to me like the ford mouth of the cripple or beggar spoken in Irish, 'beal átha a'bhachaigh'. Whic would sound like Ballaw-wacka
Regards.
Tom.

apols if I am confusing anyone. Bernard 1 was from Aweston I have now discounted him as my ancestor.
Bernard  2 is my ggggggrandad but I don't know where he came from (just that he was in the army) I think he was from Ireland. His wife was Irish and she is the one from 'Balauwak, Kow. Which I am struggling to find. It clearly wasn't spelt right on the census and is the interpretation of the enumerator completing the census.
I really want to find our where Bernard came from  so if I can find where he was married I might find where he was born but I am stuck.
