I am trying to track an ancestor who was a Chelsea Pensioner in the early 1800's. His name was Angus McKay. I have subscribed to Find My Past to access the digitalised records.
I have three questions:
1. Various records refer to Angus specifically as a Chelsea Pensioner. I am trying to narrow the search. Should I exclude the Kilmainham records?
2. Do any records show what address or area the pension was paid to? I know he lived in Auchterless (Dykeside) with his wife.
3. Would his pension continue to be paid to his wife after his death or did the pension die with him?
The words haystack and needle come to mind!
Thankyou in advance for all or any help.
