Looking at my Gt Gt Grandfathers occupation on 1861 census it says Chelsea pensioner S H G ? anyone know what this is please.


Thank you

Is it 100% clear on the image - if not, maybe you could post details so folks can have a look?
Jan

Hi Jan yes its %100 clear chelsea pensioner S. H. G. his age was only 29yrs old.

Very intriguing. What about posting details anyway - it might seem pointless but it sometimes helps to see the context. Also, have you found him in any further census?

I have to go out will check in later thank you all.
on the 1871 census it just says Chelsea pensioner. Cant find him on any other census yet.

defiantly S H G

He must have come out of the Army on a pension. There were IN pensioners is lived at the Chelsea Almshouses. and OUT pensioners ie got a pension but didnt live in the Almshouses. My grt grt grandfather was an OUT chelsea pensioner having been discharged on medical reasons in 1849 after 24 years service.
There are Chelsea Pensioner records now on Find My Past

About Chelsea pensioners:

There are two categories of Chelsea Pensioner: In-Pensioners, those who surrendered their Army Pension and were admitted as residents of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Out-Pensioners, those who lived ‘Out ‘, at home and abroad. All records for Out-Pensioners are held by the National Archives at Kew. If you find details of an ancestor in a Census it is a definite indication that he was an Out-Pensioner

Thank you all still wonder what S H G STANDS FOR.

S H G comes under occupation wonder if its some sort of Disability ?

Could it be linked to his regiment in the Army, ...?
