David Parfitt 1783? Stanton Drew

[jomcd967]

A pension record for a David Parfit of the Royal Military Artillery receiving a pension for life in 1825, 21 years of service, left due to rheumatism, seems to have enlisted at 22.

Jo is that record online? Also does it give any more information like his address?

[jomcd967]

Hi Julia, the pension records are on FindMyPast, no further information on there

Missed the note "9 Sept 1833" on one of the entries, I would assume this is his date of death and corresponds to the burial on 15 Sept 1833 at Stanton Drew.

So you were missing a generation JuliaP

David died 1833 so Alfred was the Son Son of Mary born 1835

Well done Jo, it didnt pick the Family up in Wales in 1841.

There is a burial in Stanton Drew for a David Parfit, age 49, on 15 Sept 1833.

FreeREG has his age as 69. Where did the 49 come from?

I've just checked the microfiche of the register. 49 is right.

Thats good David.
I'm not adding any more on here as JuliaP has been on-line but not replied to anything I have posted.
