Hi Folks,

 

These are the details given on Ancestry:

 


From:  <https://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61068/> UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Soldier Service Records,
1760-1920


 


Name:

Private Joseph Dickinson [sometimes known as Joseph DICKENSON]


Enlistment Age:

17


Discharge Age:

32


Birth Date:

abt 1795 [bap. 17 Apr 1796]


Birth Place:

Monk Freeston [should be Monk Fryston, Yorkshire]


Enlistment Year:

1812


Discharge Year:

1827


Regiment:

Third Regt Of Foot Guards

 

Apparently he fought at Waterloo.

 

He isn't exactly closely related (or really related at all) - he was the maternal grandfather of the second husband of the great
grandmother of the wife of my husband's first cousin once removed.

 

If anybody is subscribed to Fold3, I would really appreciate the images! I don't know whether these records are on Findmypast as
well - if so, same applies.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Petra
