Chelsea Pensioner enquiry help please

Postby pheobe » Mon Mar 12, 2012 6:46 pm

Hello

I am not sure if I am on the correct board for this query but, I would like a little help if possible.

I have on the 1851 census a Francis Everton born 1828 in Kidderminster. He is 23 I think his occupation is Weaver carpets.

On the 1861 census his wife Eliza is a Chelsea Pensioners widow still living in Kidderminster. It seems he died in March 1860.

I have not sent for the death certificate yet. Will the certificate give me any clues as to how I can search for his records?

Thank you Pheobe
