He served for 6 years in Nova Scotia and 6 years 4 months in Canada.

He was discharged in Devonport 15 December 1857 because of rheumatism affecting several large joints.

He was a labourer when he enlisted.

Although he had been court martialled once and committed a number of offences (drunk while cooking, abusive language, throwing brushes on the fire) he still managed to earn 4 good conduct badges and his overall conduct was deemed very good.

NOTE: On the original image of the 1871 posted above, Patrick is said to be a Chelsea Pensioner.

Hi MarieCeleste,
Thank you for the information on the Passanger lists.
Regards,
Julia.

Hi MarieCeleste.
My Goodness, this could be the reason Patrick Emigrated to Canada, his son Phillip was born Canada 1851. I have not found the date of Emigration yet, it would be interesting to be positive that the above Patrick was the Patrick Palfrey I am rsearching, I will look into this.
Thank you,
Julia.

Julia, unfortunately Canadian incoming shipping records start at 1865, incoming UK arrivals from 1878 and UK outgoing from 1890 so he's probably slipped through the net ....

Hi,
