Where can I find records of Chelsea Pensioners from the early nineteenth century?
1851 Census, Edward Owens, aged 77, Chelsea pensioner 1/2 pay, possibly blind?

Aderyn - not sure if we have chatted before as I find it hard to search Roots Chat for previous posts - but I wondered if this Edward Owens is in your family tree? He's in mine, and I have further info on him. Would be pleased to swap details!
