Looks like their daughter Edith ?, born abt 1880;

My how my memory's failing, just realised we discussed Ephraim Baglin b1837 only weeks ago !
see this thread http://forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=45071
This prior thread suggests this may be Ephraim's family in

1851, at Joyford Hill.
Name Surname Relationship Age Estimated Birth Year Gender Birth Place.
Thomas Baglin Head 33 1818 Male West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Sophia Baglin Wife 31 1820 Female West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
John Baglin Son 16 1835 Male West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Mary Ann Baglin Daughter 15 1836 Female West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Maria Baglin Daughter 12 1839 Female West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Emma Baglin Daughter 9 1842 Female West Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Fanny Baglin Daughter 11 Mo 1850 Female West Dean, Gloucestershire, England


The PRs give the corresponding baptisms to parents Thomas(as per his marriage Record) and Sophia(possibly).

Year Parents_Surname Child_Forenames Fathers_Forenames Mothers_Forenames Mothers_Surname Residence Occupation Parish_Chapel
1833 BAGLIN John, Thomas & Sophia, Joyford Collier Christchurch
1836 BAGLIN Eliza, Thomas & Sophia, Joyford Collier Christchurch
1837 BAGLIN Mary Anne, Thomas & Sophia, Joyford Collier Christchurch
1838 BAGLIN Mira, Thomas & Sophia, Mount Pleasant Collier Christchurch
1841 BAGLIN Emma, Thomas & Sophia, of Coleford Coleford Wesleyan Methodist
1843 BAGLIN Jane, Thomas & Sophia, of Joyford Glos Coleford Wesleyan Methodist

Searching all Baptisms for father Thomas Baglin gives another "possible", but not a soldier;
1840 BAGLIN Mary Anne, Thomas & Ellen, Joyford Collier Christchurch

SO could the soldier have been John Baglin b1835, possibly a little old for a battle in 1879 ?.
OR maybe it is his possible half-brother William Herbert b1822, as helpfully pointed out by MPG earlier ?. This might explain why Ephraim uses the name William again for his own son b25.4.1877(wrt Scowles School Register), perhaps in memory of his lost brother ??

I cannot check the Census' now, but searching thro the PRs and GlosBMD records I cannot trace either men's future whereabouts with certainty, particularly William's ??;

Could this Burial PR, just months AFTER Isandlwana, have been named in memory of a soldier who died there ?
