l have date of my ancestors death 27th march 1831 Horsley Debryshire
England.His name was Roger Harrison and retired from the 31st Foot regiment in 1802 aged 48yrs and served 26 yrs.

l have been trying to search for his details on ancestru .co.uk but l am not getting anywhere.The above information was from National Archives after having paid research.l am trying to find leads to his wife Catherine Harrison (her maiden name) hoping that there would have been a mention on his records of being married to her.l am aware that there is a marriage of a Roger Harrison and Elizabeth Salisbury in Chaddesden Derbyshire but l am not convinced that it is her(1841 census states Catherine Harrison lrish widow) l have hit a brickwall with her maiden name and l just don't know what to do next.l have thought of addresses that they could have lived for recieving his military pension and when he died his wife must have had to contact the Chelsea Pensioners Military Hospital of his death.?

There is a record ofmarriage to Roger Harrison and Elizabeth Harrison Chaddesen Derbyshire England 1802 but l am not convinced of this .
1841 census shows widow Catherine Harrison lrish.Catherine and Roger had 3 children?Amey,William and( Richard who could have been born in lreland)Roger and Catherine could have been married there he was in lreland 1797 and 1800 on service.
Would be grateful for your help and advice .Thankyou
