Onslow was my Gt Grandfather. He was born 1852 in Edinburgh. He married Elizabeth Elkington 19 05 1876 at St Lukes Chelsea but can't find a death certificate for him. We think he died before August 1899 and most likely in the London area. He was a musician. jenny

Hello Reggie Thanks for all that info. He must have only been about 47 when he died. I have looked under all his first names with no luck

Quite a bit on here, more particularly about his father who had a long and looks like distinguished military career as musician/bandsman
http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-38835.html
It would seem they were a military family and I just wonder if Onslow (on the census as Henry) in 1881 is there as a Corporal in the Guards, maybe he was still serving 1891 (when he is listed as Musician) and onwards and that he died overseas? Or he could be a civilian and be overseas of course.
Maud Jane is also on the baptism record that Gins found - born April 18th 1889. I was looking to see what his occupation was at that time. It gives musician.

Looks like there was an earlier Elizabeth born to Onslow where he is listed as Musician 2nd Life Guards. I can't for sure say, that the record actually does read Pomet for her 3rd given name but whatever it is may be a throw back to an ancestors name
London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906 about Elizabeth Jane Pomet Clarke Name: Elizabeth Jane Pomet Clarke <<<<<<<<< Record Type: Baptism Baptism Date: 7 Dec 1877 Father's Name: Onslow Charles Henry Clarke Mother's name: Elizabeth Clarke Parish or Poor Law Union: Christ Church, Albany Street Borough: Camden Register Type: Parish Registers
EDIT - my thoughts are now that it will say Power, Onslow's fathers middle name.

John Power Clarke was Onslow's father - see the post I made earlier - there has to be a connection! Quite a bit on here, more particularly about his father who had a long and looks like distinguished military career as musician/bandsman

There is a Herbert Onslow Clarke b 1846, father William b 1813 a Solicitor on the 1851 census in Islington and looks like Herbert's daughter Liian's christening 1872 at St Michael and All Angels, Ladbroke Grove. Herbert a Gentleman.

Well...................that's a surprise.
..........thanks, Gins
I'd like to bet there's an indirect link...........I wonder if 'Power' is the correct version of 'Pomet ' in the record Stuart posted
