Could some kind person please look at what's in this record for me? I can't find it in TNA Discovery catalogue and FMP isn't bringing it up either although they do have another Royal Hospital Chelsea dataset.
Abt 1855 is his birth year (birth date 14 May 1856) and 5 December 1882 his pension admission /examination date. P = Private and 1630 = service number.
I eventually found his marriage to Margaret TRAINOR / TRAINER in Belfast 1880 at which point he was living in the Royal Barracks, Dublin. Margaret died 1898 in Glasgow and he is supposed to then have married an Isabella MARTIN. I have her baptism and death both in Glasgow but there's no sign of an actual marriage. His parents were James MITCHELL and Agnes PARKER.
