It coudl well be..I know he was born in cork but from 1871 onwards it appears he was in London,so does the 1879 mean that he signed on in cork?? If so i doubt its him,unless he went back to ireland for some reason?? Does it give any more info at all??
Thanks :D

Hi,

I have found a Chelsea Pensioner W097 record for Edward Munns born 1807 in Ireland.

Can anyone advise how somebody became a Chelsea Pensioner or any other information that is shown in the records would be much appreciated.

Regards

Kate
