Alexander Keillor - Chelsea Pensioner

[darylr]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a military record for my ancestor Alexander Keillor, b. 23 Feb 1798 in Inverkeillor.
According to his death cert, for 23 Dec 1861, he was a Chelsea pensioner. I'd like to know which regiment he served in, etc.

Regards,

Daryl
