Staffordshire / Re: Theatre Royal West Bromwich - RAINBOW
« on: Monday 24 October 11 08:44 BST (UK)  »
I expect you know this already, but 19th Century British Library [Gale] Newspapers {accessible with many library cards] has lots of reviews and ads about Emma Rainbow from "The Era". It appears she was in Wolverhampton on 03 April 1881 so that may narrow your search a bit.  Not immediately apparent where she was on 05 April 1991 but it might come to light if you have time to read all the cuttings.

Good luck.

Armed Forces / Re: King's Warrant

Many thanks, Pete Keane, for your prompt and knowledgeable reply.  Makes sense, for according to his discharge papers, in spite of 21 years and 91 days of service with good conduct and character, because the discharge is at his own request he relinquishes all claim to pension.  Tough!

Armed Forces / King's Warrant
« on: Wednesday 24 March 10 11:50 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor discharged from the 78th Regiment of Foot in 1833 "under the conditions prescribed in Articles 4 and 47 of the Regulations annexed to the King's Warrant of the 14th. November 1829".

Can any of you clever people tell me what articles 4 and 47 say?
