Many thanks to you both. That has been a great help.
Baden Powell Kirkley? I presume that he must have been interested in scouting, but I didn't think that the scouts started until 1907. Curious.
Regards,
Inchworm ;D

After I'd stopped laughing, I thought about it. They must have held him in high regard to name their child after him.
Or was it the equivillant of naming a child today after a TV soapstar? ;D ;D ;D

He was a lieutenant-general in the British Army and in the Second Boer War in 1899 he successfully defended the city in the Siege of Mefeking, so I suppose he was quite a hero at the time :)

That is quite nice to name your child after a hero, but couldn't thry have named him Robert Baden-Powell Kirkley. It would have sounded better than just using a double barrel surname as his forenames. ::)
