Wow!  I didn't dream of getting as much information as I have got from all you fantastic people. Thank you sooooo much again. Believe me it is very much appreciated and now I feel I am able to find out a bit more about my ancestry, or at least about the battles he took part in.

That's fantastic that it is on FindMyPast. My local studies library has access to it so it is definitely on my list for my next visit 

hi,,,,if its the same man    John Liversage was b c1770 in Poolford ,Chester.

he first joined the 1st Dragoon guards in 1793,,,then joined the 23rd foot in 1807.
he served 15 years and 279 days and was allowed 2 years extra for service at Waterloo.
He was discharged through general debility in may 1817 age 47.
on discharge he was 5 ft 7",,grey hair,,grey eyes,,dark complexion,,and a labourer by trade. 

Hi

Thank you for this information  Could I please ask where you got this information from and can I obtain a copy of it, as it does sound like my John Liversage. Sorry for all the question but this is the first time I have research any military connection.

I would again like to thank everyone for there help and I am sorry I duplicated my question. Would you like me to remove the post from the Photo Restoration board?

Thanks

Thank you so much for all your help Neil1821. It really has made things a bit clearer for me, and is very much appreciated. I can't wait to tell my Dad now.

Thank you

Hi,

Phew...I've not been able to sign on here for ages, but when I tried today I finally got to...WOO!HOO! Which is great iming as I got a new record today and I just cannot make head nor tales of the handwriting.

It is a Military Campaign and award roll (he was in the Military between 1793 - 1815), and the person I am interested in is John Liversedge, who is the last name on the list, but I can't make out the writing that has been written underneath and at the end of his entry, well saying that I can't read most of the document to be honest  . I hope the picture is clear enough.


Thank you in advance for your time and trouble x

I forwarded the Kays pub picture to Robbies brewery to see if anyone there recognised it and received the folowling reply:-
 
Kays Atlas Brewery

Your email dated the 29th July has been shown to me.  Although I have the longest experience at the Brewery, I am afraid I have no idea which Kays pub is shown in the picture that you attached to your email.

Most of Kays houses were in Manchester and have long since been demolished or, in one or two cases, they were bombed in the war.

I have never seen an existing Kays property looking anything like the one in your picture.

Yours sincerely

Ah well, it was worth a try.

Thanks to the chairman and his secretary for taking the time to look at the photo and send a reply.

 

Thank you so much for doing this for me. Shame we didn't get the answer we would have liked, but it was kind of you to go to the trouble of emailing for me. And yes, I would also like to thank the chairman and his secretary for takinf the time to reply.

This is a fantastic site, with lovely people. Thank you everyone for all your help
