Job Wilson was tried at Chelmsford along with a John Williamson for a burglary at the shop of Ralph Bullock of Colchester. Just a brief mention in newspapers with no age recorded.

Another article states that he and John were "soldiers of the 4th regiment". I wonder whether it would be possible to find a military record for him?

The Suffolk Chronicle, 1 Sep 1810, reported the burglary at Colchester.

Newspapers around the end of October 1810 report the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment of Foot, "in barracks at Colchester", embarking at Harwich to be shipped to Portugal.

Have checked FindMyPast for for Job's military record but drew a blank.

His convict records state his native place as Cambridgeshire, the 1828 census gives his age as 40.
