Hi
I trying to find info on my great,great grandfather John Thomson. He married Mary Welsh in 1850 in Kilbarchan and his name appears in the 1851 census in Kilbarchan as a Chelsea pensioner but by 1861 Mary is widowed and living with her parents. In the marriage record of one of John and Mary's sons it mentions John Thomson as deceased and as a Sergeant in the Renfrew Militia. I cannot find a record of his death anywhere in Scotlandpeople. Can anyone help please.
Regards

Hi grizzlybear
there is a death on Scotlands People for a John Thomson
in Kilbarchan 1855
the cert would have his occupation and his widow's name on it
this was the only one between 1855 and 1861

Hi Elaine
Thanks for the reply, but I'd already checked this one out.

Hi there
I have just come across you post regarding John Thomson - it seems we are looking for the same person/family, my interest is through the Welsh lineage. Just wondering if you have had any further successes. Hoping to hear from you.
