John William BOW
Set As Default Person -
Name John William BOW Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 25 Oct 1845 Tamerton Foliot, Devon, England
- From the 1851 census where shown as aged 5
Although shown in the census as born in Tamerton Foliot the birth appears to have been registered in Tavistock RD, which does not include Tamerton. In 1851 the family were living, though, in Welltown, quite close to the border with Buckland Monachorum Parish which was in Tavistock RD so perhaps this slight discrepancy is not surprising.
GRO ref: Bow, John William q1 1846 Tavistock RD 9 505; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Justhem
(no other Bow BMDs in Tavistock RD 1837-1865 apart from other children of John and Maria who were born in Buckland Monachorum, so I think the birth reg is for this John)
Gender Male Military Service From 16 May 1860 Royal Navy Died Yes, date unknown
