Hi Patpv

There is a William McAlpine on freecen  in Aberfoyle (not to far away) in the 1841 census his occupation is listed as AG labourer

the address is Westerpark.

There looks to be three brothers William being the older one head of the household is an Elizabeth McFarlane.

Yours Aye

hi Patvp  :)

born 18th august 1817 baptized 12th sept 1817 port of monteith perth
parents william mcalpin and margaret wilson

if he was a chelsea pensioner that would suggest service in the armed forces
so possibly married abroad
