Over 629,000 Chelsea Pensioner Records now on TheGenealogist - Many searchable for the first time!
TheGenealogist
has been extending its ever growing Military records collection with a
fascinating new record set for its Diamond subscribers, with high
quality scans of the document pages and boasting more than 629,527
historic records for Chelsea Pensioners from 1702-1933.
The
records in this release include registers, admission books, ledgers and
so on that relate to army pensioners and the payment of pensions to
these individuals. The majority of the records relate to pensions
payable by the Commissioners of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, to either
in-pensioners or out-pensioners.
The bulk of the registers and
admission books will give a researcher the name, rank and regiment, rate
of pension, date of admission to pension, and residence of the army
pensioner. Additionally, many of the records will provide a date and
place of birth, a record of service and complaint or reason for
discharge.
