I have included all links. I wonder if he was in Drapery before he joined the military? Maybe his Bankrupcy forced his decision?


Tracey x

Was he only 23 when he went bankrupt,seems a bit young.

Maryb

There's an advert stating all his wares for sale in the Times dated 09 Jan 1822.

Still possible for him to run away and get another trade, what better than the military?


Tracey x

Also something on National archives date 27/1/1920,maybe it was his dads business.
