Title: Chelsea Pensioner Records
Post by: elldee on Tuesday 10 August 10 18:48 BST (UK)

Could a kind soul help me find a Chelsea Pensioner record?

I am looking for the record of George Henderson, born in Chelsea, London, Middlesex between 1825 & 1830.  He served with 2nd Battallion, 15th Regt and is listed on the 1881 census as a Chelsea pensioner. 

Many thanks, Elldee. ;D
