I have attached a copy of the entry for Daniel in the Regimental Registers of Pensioners for the 17th Foot that indicates he died 28/2/1862 however having looked up the BDM indexes for England and Ireland I can't find an entry for him in either one. What do the letters and numbers that follow his date of death mean and could they lead to a location of his death.

I have found that he was alive and living in St George the Martyr in Finsbury in 1851 with his wife Mary (1851 Census). His daughter's death certificate in 1858 indicates he was still alive (she died in Sydney NSW).

Daniel did suffer from periods of insanity and was one of the reasons he was discharged in 1827. He sustained a head injury whilst fighting at Waterloo. If his condition deteriorated would he have admitted to an asylum and would this have been recorded in his army records or the pensioner records?

I look forward to any thoughts/suggestions that you may have to this puzzle.

Hello - I am searching for birth/christening details for my ggfather Thomas Hubert Punch born ?1862 in Cork - his parents are John Greenway Punch and Mary Hinchy/Henchy. He had 3 other siblings born in the Carrigaline District - William 1864, Clara 1865 and Edwin 1867. His father was a master mariner. Have checked familysearch, RootsIreland and Irish Genealogy without success. He died in Australia in 1898. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Some background info - Robert came to Quebec from Kilsyth in Scotland sometime in the 1820s with his brother Henry - have not found any passenger lists for them.
Robert married (unknown date - unable to find on Drouin Collection or in the Southwestern Quebec Genealogical resources Parish records) a Rachel. The family were around the Hemmingford area.
In the various records for the childrens' births or burials her name has been given as follows:
James 1828, John Graham 1831 & Robert 1832 - Rachel and for James' burial Rachel Simoe;
there is another child in this group that I cannot find a Henry Joseph born c 1835 - on certificates in Australia he indicated his birthplace as Hemmingford British North America or Canada.
For Alexander 1837, Simon 1839, William 1843, Margaret and Mary 1849 her name is given as Archance.
In her burial record 1856 her name is given as Rachel Dinaud/Dinand (I think it is Dinaud) and on her headstone she is named Rachel Jeremie a native of Laprairie PQ. She is buried with her husband Robert died 1857 (native of Kilsyth Co Stirling Scotland on headstone) and her children James, Alexander and John Graham and his wife Lavinia Fosburgh. They are buried in the Cemetery of the Russeltown Church in Russeltown  Flats.
Does anyone know why she has so many different names and would she be using the French system of "Dit" and if so which one would be her "Dit" name? If I can find what exactly her name is I may be able to find out more about her & her family and perhaps marriage record for her.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

I hope someone can help with this brick wall - Alfred William Bailey's WW1 Attestation papers indicate that he was naturalised however these documents are not online with his war service record. His record indicated that he was born in Texas America & he enlisted Feb. 1916 at Ararat in Victoria. If these naturalisation papers had to be shown when enlisting does anyone know where these documents may be located?
