Title: ForcesWar Records / Fold3 Lookup Request
Post by: ptdrifter on Wednesday 24 April 24 21:52 BST (UK)
Good evening all
I have found a record on Ancestry for Bartholomew Dickenson listed as below
Bartholmew ?? Dickinson
in the UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admissions and Discharges, 1715-1925
The image links to Fold3 Website, but then I get pingponged between the UK and US site and can't access the image.
Is anyone able to see this for me
many thanks in advance
Fred

Fold3 requires a separate subscription.

RootsChat rules don't permit us ti disclose information from paid sites.

Ok thank you for pointing that out. I do have a subscription but it seems my account is crosslinked to US and UK. I'll wait until they fix my account.

Ancestry, owners of Fold3, are an American company. ;)

I don't have a Fold 3 sub either but I can see that the pension date is 23 December 1717 and he was in 3rd Foot Guards.

Who would later be known as the Scots Guards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Scots_Guards_(1642%E2%80%931804)

Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping there is extra info when I eventually get my account sorted and can see the image. Trying to work out if it's the right man.
