Agnes Louisa POW; born 4q 1894 Bath 5c 538 was still living in Bath in 1901.
I have not found her at all after this census.
Beatrice Violet POW; born 1q 1901 Bath 5c 508 was at 3 & 4 Cottages Home, Butty Piece, Cottages School in 1911.
I have not found her at all after this census.
Their parents were Henry and Julia Pow (nee Golledge)
Can anyone help me further as after 10 years searching I am stumped again. :o

Does anyone know more about the School; 3 & 4 Cottages Home, Butty Piece, Cottages?
I have not heard of that one before.

I wonder what has happened by 1911 for Beatrice to be boarding in a school and for her mother to be in a workhouse?
-
The head is described as "foster mother"
-
Oh dear, 3 & 4 Cottages Home, Butty Piece, Cottages is part of the workhouse for pauper children!

Look at the part Scattered Homes
-
Julia Pow was in the Workhouse by 1903 - in the 1901 census she was entered as being blind :(
I would say that the definition of being blind in 1901 would be different to todays ???

I see the older daughters are out in service, I wonder if Agnes was too, she would have been old enough in 1911 if she was hopefully still around.
-
Think I have a possible for Agnes - look for Agnes Cow born 1895 Bath :)
-
Have you found Henry in 1911? A tree on Ancestry gives his death as 1928, so if correct, he should be somewhere.
-
If that's her, there was a problem there as well

Oops! I forgot Ethel Mabel POW, 4q 1890 Bath 5c 530 :-[
Can you find out more about her? :D
I have not looked for Henry after 1901
-
Try Henry Sow born Bath 1862 as a possible :)
Might kill two birds with one stone that one ;)
-
Possible death if she reversed her names as well
Mabel E Pow
Birth: abt 1891
1914 Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at Death: 23
Registration district: Bath

Good find, Millipede, think thats cracked it. ;D
-
Thank you both again :D :D
I will look out for Henry Sow ;) he could be the answer to my searches ;D
Edit: Just looked again; in 1901 Henry was deaf as well. That would be the reason that the girls all went to live in the Workhouse. Very sad :'(

Must have been a hard life, especially if Agnes was disabled as well.
