Look up request for Pow family living in Bridgeport Fairfield CT USA *COMPLETED

[Muffin41]

I am researching for ancestors who emigrated to America in the 19th century.

Henry Poney Pow married Elizabeth Westman 1897 in Bridgeport Fairfield Connecticut. I am seeking any details about his children and their families.

Edith Pow born 1897 (No further details known)

Sarah Pow born 1898, died 22.6.1973, who married Joseph Buckley (date not known)

Lillian Pow born 27.3.1900, died 19.10.1979, who married John Sorenson (date no known)

Anna Pow born 1906, died 27.11.1973, who married Mr Mayo (name and date no known)

I know this is a lot to ask for. If anybody can give me information about any of these persons I would be grateful.

As far as I know they all lived in  Bridgeport Fairfield Connecticut their whole lives.

Thank you in advance,
