I was so excited to see this I only read halfway before I sent the message.
I do have details of his date and place of death and some info including a couple of photos of him one as a young man and one older, in both he looks very much like my Uncle his nephew.Who was also very much a man of action and served his country.

Thank you I thought it a bit odd also the baptism of two daughters Jane born 1806 and Margaret born 1808 were not done til 1818 he was then a servant of customs pottery.
So that death looks like him Just found a death wed 19th jan 1825
Mary King wife of John King age 56 after a long and tedious illness
toxteth park.
Now even more confused.

I am looking for information on John King a Liverpool Tailor who married Mary Melling 17 Aug 1789 St Nicholas Liverpool.
Looking at the baptism records of his children he was a tailor Dale St area except for 1799 when he was a soldier. Would anybody have any idea where?
1802 his is a tailor again Crosbie Street. The last baptism 1818 that is the last record of him 1821 Gore directory Mary King 13 Parker St 1824 Mrs Mary King Parker St 1828 she died aged 60.
Would love to find out why he was a soldier for such a short time what war would he have been involved with, are there any records?
available. I couldn't find a death record for him.
Many thanks

Thank you everybody I did post a reply earlier don't know where it went.
Yes this is him he was also in South Lancs reg 2nd bn 1911 orford barracks warringtpn corporal medal record card reg no 8198 ww1 france
awarded Military Cross Croix de Guerre mentioned in despatches emblem with oak leaf.
Contacted his reg for information as family stories say he was a major.
Reply came back very distinguished soldier commissioned 1931 made major 1943 officers list 1946 is has M.B.E. However they have his date of birth wrong 20.1.1898 they say it is him and the photo they sent has strong family looks but thought if I could trace his father on his marriage record that would help.
Will send for the marriage certificate if not on line. Army gave details of his marriage.
