with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 3 Jun 1852 Welltown, Tamerton Foliot, Devon, England

Actual date from naval papers (TNA catalogue entry)
Not with his parents in the 1861 census - so was he their son?
Besides the mother's maiden name, the 1871 census gives a suggestion that Isaac was the son of John and Maria. His birthplace was recorded as "Wilton, Tamerton Foliat". This would seem to be Welltown, recorded as Wiltown in the 1851 census when John and Maria were living there. All maps (i.e. the Old Series OS map, 1809-1813, as well as more recent) suggest Welltown was tiny and in line with this only 2 households were recorded with the address in 1851.
Where was Isaac in 1861? Perhaps he was simply accidentally omitted from the list of their children. Searching on Ancestry I find no Isaac Bow in the 1861 census nor a Tamerton born Isaac or Bow(e) that might be him.

The 1911 census shows that Isaac and Emily had had 4 children, but 3 had died; the survivor must have been William Isaac born in 1886.
I think it is save to assume that one of those who had died was another William Isaac (1882). The other 2 are not so obvious. There are no other Bows who were born and died before the next census to be found in Eastbourne or Lewes RDs (which cover Friston and Rottingdean, where Isaac and Emily are known to have lived).
A Beatrice was born in Plymouth RD in q4 1878 (Plymouth RD 5b 276) who died there in q3 1879 aged 1 (Plymouth 5b 141) may have been another of their children.
I haven't identified a 4th but in the coastguard service Isaac may have been working anywhere in the country so it is not obvious where to look.
