  My 3rd great grandfather William Duke died 25 June 1849 at Belturbet Barracks Ireland. He was a Barrack Sergeant. I have this DC stating he was buried on 27 June 1849

I have obtained his army record  - but am unsure if it is him. 

I have a Ancestry subscription and have looked at the Chelsea Pensioner document and note that on this record to the right of his name states died 25 June but can't quite decipher it. 
Is it possible for someone to check the Royal Chelsea to confirm 

Another public Ancestry member is also researching William Duke 81st Regiment of Foot and the Army records they have states 1877 but I think this was a verified document printed in 1877.

William Duke was a Sergeant Major 81st Regiment of Foot.

This may be confusing also. On the army service record I have his number is 199 but on the public Ancestry member it is 499 

PS As you can probably tell I have noooooooo experience in military research !!! 

Help much appreciated.

Looking for information on Thomas Hunt who married Margaret Duke 1850 in Cavan. He stated he was a Private in the 35th Regiment of Foot. His father also Thomas Hunt (a Butcher)
I am wondering if you can help me find his service records. I live in Australia and don't quite understand how TNA works 

Kind regards Kay 

 

Is it possible to find out which regiments were stationed at the Belturbet Barracks between 1845 and 1850?

I have an ancestor Sergeant William Duke born about 1800 and died at the barracks in 1849.

I have his DC1849 but does not state regiment or service number 

Cheers

 

Hope someone may be able to help me. I have been trying so hard to trace my ancestors.

Have found on the LDS site Margaret Duke B1811 who married Thomas Hunt in Anna, CAVAN, Ireland 28 August 1850. Parent of Margaret Duke listed as James Elliot    I am almost positive this is my ggg grandmother as my grandmother's name was Elizabeth-Duke Robertson Campbell.

I have a DC1874 for Margaret Hunt who died in Glasgow Widow 1st of William Hamilton dec (44th Regiment of Foot) and  widow 2nd of Thomas Hunt (Engineer) Parents listed as James Elliot (shoemaker) and Catherine nee Reilly.

My great great grandmother Mary Ann HUNT according to IGI was born 1844-1846 in Ireland - Parents Margaret Elliot and Thomas Hunt 
Mary Ann married William Buchanan 1863 in Glasgow and I have followed them through all the census (if it's my right  family.)
On one of the census states Mary Ann as born in Belturbet but have not been able to find anything about her to confirm this.

I also have a DC1905 for Mary Ann Hunt/Buchanan which states Parents as Thomas Henry Hunt (Chelsea Pension dec) and Margaret Hunt nee DUKE

 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a death certificate for Thomas Henry HUNT 1856 age 5 years. I am trying to trace parents with little information to go on 
The certificate states parents - Thomas Hunt (Chelsea Pensioner) and Margaret nee Elliot.
I have collected many wrong Hunts from SP 
Can anyone tell me if I can find a list of 'Chelsea Pensioners?' or what it means?
I live in Australia and have no idea where to look.
Thankyou Kay
