so a soldier


beginning to sound like the nursery rhyme tinker tailor soldier spy........

Looks like he was discharged 1849, having loss of vision in right eye, due to ulcer on cornea.
Intended place of residence, Wincanton, Somerset.

so was he likely to jjoin the navy then?

severe vision problems?

Wouldn't have thought so LK... :-)

and also the other children's


and of course the whole load of censuses for the family is posted there



there are instructions put in front of you when you start a thread, they are there for you to read

they say


Please don’t post about the same person or family twice as this can make extra work for the volunteer helpers.


they also say


Give as much detail as possible when explaining who you are trying to find. If known, try putting the name, place of birth and year of birth in the subject line of your thread. All known information will make it much easier for volunteer helpers to help you.


in this thread you started out once again without even giving a place name

and you very very very certainly did not give all information known to you >>>> the information I and others had already found for you in your other thread
