hi there,

Interesting, having looked at Lord Baden Powell, the surname Powell was added after the death of a relative, I do wonder if the family are connected somehow to this family, and then lister added to the end, this may take some time to pick up the missing links. Just thought it might help. :-)

Just to reply to Andy-I don't see him in 1911 and if his death record is accurate he would have been born a few weeks before the 1901.

@ nuttybongo

at the risk of getting sidetracked....

you have it the wrong way round

Lord Baden Powell was born a Powell. Baden was his father's forename, and his mother Henrietta changed the name of the family to Baden-Powell after the death of her husband.

Name: Robert Stephenson Smyth Powell<<<<<<<<<<<
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 8 Jul 1857
Father's Name: Baden Powell<<<<<<<<<
Mother's name: Henrietta Powell
Parish or Poor Law Union: Paddington St James
Borough: Westminster
Register Type: Parish Registers

Smyth was his mother's maiden name:

Name: Paden Powell
[Baden Powell]
Spouse Name: Henrietta Grace Smyth
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 10 Mar 1846
Parish: Chelsea St Luke
Borough: Kensington and Chelsea
Father Name: Baden Powell
Spouse Father: William Henry Smyth
Register Type: Parish Register

and as Hilary said - just check births around the time Baden Powell was the hero of the Anglo-Afghan war - they litter the index

along with an astonishing number of children named Mafeking :-)

not seeing him in 1911 ...
