I have a relative who was sent to prison in 1955. At the time he was a soldier. I imagine it was National Service. Would he have been dishonourably discharged from the army? are there any records of this I could access?

I know this has been asked before but I'm really stuck. Apologies all. I would like to obtain a death certificate.

George Macleod, born about 1830 died at sea in June 1892. He was the ship's master and after a lot of searching I discovered he died at midnight on 15 June 1892. The ship was, as far as I can determine from the coordinates on the report, in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean en route for Australia.  The ship was a masted sailing ship called Windermere.

G.R.O. have no record of the death but there may be a record in Western Australia, registration number 747. (Ancestry, Australia death index 1787-1985). Does that sound likely that by dying on the way to Australia he may have been buried at sea and the death registered on arrival?
I found the death record on Find my Past under "British armed forces and overseas deaths and burials". His death was recorded as from liver and kidney complaint.
All help very gratefully received!

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.

His name was William Jones. He worked very closely with his son in law Andrew Flemming Bancroft. I would assume they were both masons. They even shared a house with their respective families at one time.
He lived and worked in Liverpool and Birkenhead/ Tranmere.
He was a builder and at one time owned the Borough Road Brickworks until 1900.
He was born in  1833 (Hawarden, Flintshire) and died in 1906 , buried in Toxteth cemetery.
Any information would be amazing. Thank you for taking the time and trouble. 

My mother's sister, Irene (Rene) Jackson (technically my aunt) died aged 4yrs in November 1925. I believe there is some kind of mystery surrounding this little girl and am trying to unpick it.

I received her death certificate today which cited her place of death as 31 Green Lane, Patricroft, Eccles. This was not the family home. That was 6 Bennett's Buildings, King Street, Stretford.

My mother's parents are listed as Rene's parents so that side of things look OK but why a different address?

The old workhouse, I believe, was 21 Green Lane. Was there a hospital nearby too?

This happened a couple of months after my mum was born so my mum could not help whilst she was alive. I heard that there may have been something wrong with Rene and she did not live at home. Was the Bridgewater Hospital at 31 Green Lane  in 1925? Was this a psychiatric hospital?

Any help would be more than gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance.
