Research note:
This is an online civil-registration index entry only, not the GRO certificate
or birth-register image. The entry is a strong candidate for Walter George
Ponceby/Pownceby because the accepted 1901 Boston marriage certificate records
Walter Pownceby, age 33, born London, father Edwin Pownceby, mother Constance
Koziell. The 1867 Bethnal Green registration is consistent with an age-33 groom
in January 1901; it conflicts with Walter's later Canadian military birth date
of 9 May 1872.
