The executor, Arthur Evan Bowen, appears in the India Office Pension registers - Military Funds.

The entry says Colonel Bowen (retired) died 28-4-1883. His wife received an annual pension of £225 9/- from the following day, until her death on 18-11-1915. Her name was Catherine Henrietta Winifred, born 18-12- 1846.

Great finds Suz & GR2.  :)

But can anyone find William's birth or baptism supposedly around 1798 at Milford, Pembrokeshire, Wales????

From what I know his father was Robert Robertson Gentleman. 

I located the baptism of possibly William's brother Bowen Robert Robertson to Robert Robertson & Lettica on 23 May 1796 at Lambston, Pembrokeshire, Wales but no luck with finding William not his mother's maiden name: it could be Bowen given Bowen Robert Robertson's first name but just supposition...  ???

and William married a Bowen -wonder if his wife was related to him?
