Look up for sons of Color Sergeant
« on: Saturday 19 August 06 14:49 BST (UK) »
Hi, I hope someone can help me further.

An ancestor Frederick George Pow born 1873 Bath Somerset married to Mary born about 1875 Dublin Ireland. He was a Colour Sergeant D in 32 Regiment Cornwall L.I.S. stationed in Bodmin. (1901 census)

Sons Arthur William G. Pow born 1899 and Walter Sydney P. Pow born 1902 were born in Bodmin.

Can anyone give me info about baptisms etc of their children?

Bailey, Hare, in Bath & Taunton Somerset
Nash in Seend Wiltshire, Bath Somerset
Snook in Middlesex, Leicestershire, Surrey, Berkshire, Portugal and Canada

Hello, Muffin

The records for baptisms at Bodmin online via the IGI finish at 1876, it would mean a physical search of the churches in Bodmin RO to find any baptisms but there are 2 birth registrations  for Arthur & Walter >>>

Birth Reg.  (source freeBMDs)

Arthur William G Pow
Mar ¼  1900 Bodmin  5c  72

Walter Sydney P. Pow
Mar ¼  1902  Bodmin  5c  66

See  my previous post re Thomas & Caroline Snook for obtaining these certss.

Meliora
RIP 1927-2018

Hallo Meliora,

Many thanks for your quick reply to all my requests. When I have all my missing birth details together I can send them in and order the full details.

Incidentally the death index 1984-2004 shows Walter Sydney P Pow d. Mar 1984 quarter, aged 82 (born 16 Feb 1902), died in Bristol.

www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline also shows two navy records (I wonder why there's two?) for a Walter Sydney Patrick Pow, b. 16 Feb 1902 Bodmin.

Hallo jorose, thank you for the info, I have looked up the website and found only one reference to Walter.
I have found also one from  WW1 for his cousin Egbert Frederick William Pow who was in the Somerset Light Infantry.
Nothing found for Walters brother Arthur William G. Pow at present.
