British Army Pensioners Abroad 1772-1899 Genealogy Book

Description

British Army  Pensioners Abroad, 1772-1899
Norman K. Crowder
British  Army pensioners lived in the vicinity of every major center in the Canadian  Atlantic Provinces, Quebec, and Ontario. In many cases their children and  grandchildren emigrated to New England, New York, Michigan, and the American  West. It is likely there are several million North Americans descended from  these so-called "Chelsea pensioners." This book, which lists veterans who were  discharged primarily during the period from 1800 to 1857, will help their  descendants to trace their British origins. The most important piece of  information provided is the name of the unit in which a man was serving when he  received his discharge. This is given for all 8,934 entries in the book together  with the date the pension was awarded. Often additional details are supplied,  such as the place of residence and the date and place of death.
