London and Middlesex / The death of a hero’s wife:
« on: Friday 09 February 24 13:49 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon everyone…
Please may I ask if anyone can provide me with an approximate date concerning the death of the wife of one of my regimental heroes. I would just like to know if she died before or after 1841.
I created an Ancestry tree for Anne, and this is her URL. Anne Tayton - Facts (ancestry.ca) Unfortunately, I was working on possible documents linked to her when my subscription ran out. I still have access to the tree, but I’m not allowed to open the documents or do research.
https://www.ancestry.ca/family-tree/person/tree/176311746/person/302287879968/facts
For those who do not have Ancestry… The story goes…
Ralph Fraser served in the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards, and I am trying to determine if he was suffering from Combat Stress, (PTSD) perhaps following the Battle of Waterloo. He was demobbed in 1818.
A possible marriage for Anne and Ralph is the 28 of April 1818. Birth unknown, Anne Tayton had a possible father called George. Two children called George Ralph Fraser and Ann Martha Fraser, unfortunately, both died before 1826. Had Anne also died before 1841, then this war-veteran could have been in a terrible state.
On the 12th of January 1841, he was enrolled as one of Queen Victoria’s Almsmen, and this post could have been given to him by the Chaplin of the Royal Chelsea Hospital.
Thanks in advance.
Regards…, Iain.
