Title: Where is Margaret Minnie Pow born in Walcot?
Post by: Muffin41 on Tuesday 08 September 20 13:30 BST (UK)
Can anyone find more information about Margaret Minnie Pow born 3q 1888 in Walcot, Bath?

Her parents were James Edward Pow and Annie Clark who married 19 June 1883 in Bitton, Gloucestershire. I have now found her two sisters who emigrated to Australia and Rhodesia after 1910.

I see she's on the 1901 with her parents so that death is not her.

Where did her sisters go?

I've found someone who could be her going to Bombay in 1920. She's aged 31 but it says born Scotland  :-\

I've not found anything definite after the 1911 in Kilburn - see Reply #4

I'll do another troll pf the ships lists but not very confident that I'll find anything better than the Bombay listing.
