	Do you know when his first child was born? That would give some indication of when he married. Also, what religion was he?

Member Since: December 2006 Posts: 64 Send Message	Trying to get help on my Gt, Gt Granddad who was born in Caltha Galway about 1780. In 1806 he joined the 13th Regiment of Foot, in 1821 i have viewed a document that says he was admitted to the Royal Chelsea Hospital and gives his residence as Roscommon, he emigrated with his wife and family to Manchester England about 1840, his death certificate states that he died of natural decay at his home, 29 Royton St, Deansgate, Manchester with his wife Jane Present on 6th March 1862. my questions are as follows, Who were Lukes Parents, surely they should have been on his enrolment papers as next of kin ? His wife Jane was born in Scotland about 1791, but what was her maiden name? and did they marry in Scotland ? i know that that was one of the places the regiment was garrisoned. what were his injuries or wounds that he was admitted to Chelsea Hospital ? i know they did not terminate his army career because he was discharged in 1826 after 20 years and 5 months service.
