Hi Gordon,
A little to add to my post of 29 Jan. Ambly's post of 14 may 08 gives the family at home for the 1841 census.Mary was actually 18. Her dob was 6 May 1822. Probably the rounding down.Between Mary and Jean were Margaret 6 Dec 1823, Helen 1 Oct 1825, Wm 10 Jun 1827 and John 16 Sep 1829.The whole family were born in Fordoun. Wm died in Fordoun 11 Aug 1863 aged 80! Helen died in Auchinblae 31 Jan 1878 aged 77. Wm's service records are held at TNA under Kilmainham Hospital.You can find the ref (WO 119/54/189) on TNA the Catalogue. Wm's medals should also be on WO 100. I believe they are also on Ancestry and Find My Past.There is a page in the magazine Your Family Tree (History overseas) issue 105 dated Jul 2011 page 27. The page is part of an article on Military Records and Wm's medal clasps appear on it. I Googled 94th Regt of Foot and found that the Regt was disbanded on 24 Dec 1818. It could explain why William took his discharge.He was admitted to the Pension Roll on 31 Dec 1818. Hope this is of some help. I do have the DOB/Baptisms of all the family plus some of the marriages and deaths if you want them.
Jim.
