From down under in Nelson  New Zealand all 3 of our libraries
were  connected in April.  Available to Locals and visitors, so if you are down this way and getting withdrawal symptoms you can get your  "GENO KICk" in Sunny Nelson

Hi Oma

Welcome to Rootschat

Where does it say he was born in all the census that you have and do all the records you have give his year of birth as approximately 1851/1852 ??? Yep
1871 age 19  born St Marys London.
1874 age 22  Marriage
1891 age 38  born London Chelsea
1901 age 48  born London St Marys
My trouble is there are to many St Marys in London.
Will down load NA leaflet
P.S. I do not live in England, consequently a trip to the NA is out of the question.
Cheers Oma


Assuming that he was eventually discharged to pension, then there should be a discharge document for him at the National Archives, Kew, London.   See their information leaflet British Army: Soldiers' Discharge Papers, 1760-1913
