Armed Forces / Re: Discharge from Royal Engineers
« on: Tuesday 14 July 20 11:35 BST (UK)  »
Dear Shaun,
thanks for all this.
Did you find this information in response to our request for information only, or were you researching Richard Eva anyway?
(Although i'm signed on as Christine, this is John writing) 
We knew about Richard's history because we ordered the death certificate for Maria Alescio which records her death as Murder.
We assumed that on discharge (from Netley Abbey interestingly for us as we used to walk the grounds when we lived near there.) he had gone back to uk and to Princetown as you correctly pointed out.
Maria returns to Gib recording  that Richard was dead! and then shacks up with the lodger who later knife's her to death.
The clip from the newspaper is important because it suggests that he recovers some sight. Where did you get that from and where can we get a copy?  did he continue to receive a pension? and if so where did he collect it?

My Ancestor (Richard Eva) was a Sapper in the Royal Engineers from 1856 to his discharge in 1871/2 following an industrial accident. The records show his intended destination was probably Launceston.
How can we find where he receive his pension, so we can trace where and when he died?
