Armed Forces / Re: John LESTER b.1771 Army reserve record 48th Foot.

If it's the John Lister born in Chorley, he was a pensioner of 61st Foot (1810-1814) but had also served in the reserve of 48th Regiment.  Pension records show that he died in March 1856.

Is it the John Lister in Wigan in the 1851 census, born in Chorley?

"The records originate from E182 (Deserter Bounty Certificates) and WO12 (Muster Books and Pay Lists) at The National Archives."

The Royal Artillery attestation record is a little difficult to follow. It appears to have been prepared in the early 1920s: it has his new army number 1009722, his old number 73739, his marriage in 1917, the birth of  Irene Hilda in 1922.

It records that he originally attested in Halifax on 31 July 1913 aged 21 years and 9 months; that he was a collier and railway goods porter; that he was born in Barnsley; there is an address in Durham that appears to have been entered in 1921: 33 Ramsey Cottages, Swalwell.
