Date of birth: was it 1855? According to the Rootspoint.com website, F O Bower was born in 1856, not 1855.^[1] The reason I was looking into this is I have seen an antique Staffordshire small china mug with the name "F O Bower" and the date "1856" which I think might commemorate his birth or christening. I cannot find another candidate for the name and date combination "F O Bower 1856".truthordare (talk) 17:06, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
