How many siblings did Lord Robert Baden Powell have?

Answer 1

The man we know today as Lord Robert Baden-Powell ("BP"), the founder of the world scouting movement, was born Robert Stephenson Smyth Powell but his family called him Stephe after his Godfather, Robert Stephenson. BP's mother was his father's 3rd wife and his Father, Reverend Baden Powell, had 4 children from a previous marriage.

With Lord Baden-Powell's mother, Henrietta Grace Smyth, Rev. Powell fathered Warrington (early 1847), George (late 1847), Augustus (1849), and Francis (1850). Three more children were born but died at an early age before they had Stephe (1857), Agnes (1858), and Baden (1860).

So BP had 4 half siblings who were older when he was born and that he did not know well, 4 siblings who were 6-10 years older, 3 siblings who died early (and so he never really knew them), and 2 siblings that he was especially close to being close to him in age.
