Could these be a couple of births with variations of mum Hannah’s maiden name?:
BATTLE, JAMES
Mother’s maiden name: HOSKEY
GRO Reference: 1856 J Quarter in DONCASTER IN THE COUNTIES OF YORK AND NOTTINGHAM Volume 09C Page 455
(baptism: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:66B5-WNL2)
-
BATTLE, ALBERT
Mother’s maiden name: HOSKIN
GRO Reference: 1859 J Quarter in ECCLESALL BIERLOW Volume 09C Page 24

The family had moved to London by the 1871 census, but I’m wondering whether Pole/Powell stayed behind in Sheffield and started using the name Robert (like his dad). E.g. this 1869 marriage to Alice Kirk: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6652-YL3T
If this is him, it would mean that he was born in Berlin and a tailor like his probable dad:
1881 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27Y-XY6C
1891 census: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7LKJ-KMM
etc
This Robert is the son of Senior Robert Battle born 1826
And yes, thats the variants of Hannah's surname I have found on the gro. However, Im wondering if they have become anglicized as she was born in Poland or Russia
