I have a CORNELUIS PALMER in 1841 census age 65 at Royal Hospital Chelsea as a private, i guess he was a pensioner? I then have him on 1851 census age 75 married to a Elizabeth Ashby age 38, it says Parish relief, i would like to know how can i find him as a Chelsea pensioner & what does parish relief mean on 1851 census |

Wow! He's got 4 children in 1851 aged 9 down to 23 months. Not bad for a 75 year old! |

Yes not bad at all for a 75 year old, thats not all, pretty sure he was married before Elizabeth to a Eleanor & had 11 children with her! |

I believe "parish relief" is welfare, is it not? |
