Thank you for your help. I have just noticed Genes as brought some records on line today. I went many years ago to Kew and was unsuccessful. I have got the George from Almondbury discharge details so this afternoon I will be on Genes again thank you xx |

If you know where and when he died, there are pension payment records at the National Archives (not online) which should give date of admission to pension, so, assuming you know the date for George of Almondbury, should rule him in or out. These records only go up to 1862 or so, though.Have you found any discharge records for your George on FMP? Also, if you have a fairly accurate date of your George's discharge, you could search TNA references WO116 and WO117, (the ref depends on whether he was discharged due to illness or injury, or whether he was discharged due to length of service)which you can download for free from the TNA website. They should give place of birth and a brief summary of service |

My greatgreatgreat great grandfather was a sergeant in the 84th of Foot regiment. In the 1841 census it states he was born in Lancashire. I have traced a Sergeant George Taylor of this regiment but he was born in Almondbury. I am certain this is him. How can I prove this? George Taylor was pensioned out of the army. This gentleman born in Almondbury was also pensioned out. According to an old newspaper cutting my George was captured by the French, escaped back to England and became a recruiting officer in Rochdale. I am doing my family history in book form and just want to be as accurate as I can be. I would appreciate any guidance thank you Barbara |
