Please can any one help,
I am looking for info on William Kay who born Cannongate Edinburgh c1842. On the 25.12.1872 he transferred to 79th Regt, No 1700, He was discharged on 17 Jun 1884 at Gosport Hants, with total of 14 years to count towards his pension. He was in trouble while he was in the army, & this continued after he was discharged.
The latest definite info I have on him is, a report of him in the newspaper Saturday, July 09 1892 where he was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment for not contributing towards the support of his wife, “ Mrs Kay said her husband had a pension for a 1s a day and had been in constant work at 4d an hour“.
He had died by16 March 1908 when a son married!
I can’t find a death in the right place! Is there any way I could find when the pension payment ceased? This would help.
I have looked in The National Archives, but I don’t understand them & couldn’t findany thing on the Chelsea Out-Pensioners??
I would really appreciate any help or advice anyone could give me.
Thank you,
Ann E
