Chelsea Pensions
« on: Thursday 20 November 08 23:17 GMT (UK) »
I have been trying to find a Great Uncle for years without any luck. Perhaps someone can help?
Name James Cockburn b 3.6.1886 Redheugh, Cockburnspath. Illegitimate son of Margaret McCabe.
James joined the Royal Highlanders 1901 went to India. Went to France was wounded & discharged believe he went to USA or Canada. His service no. 8296 Chelsea no. 27930D. I have tried to find out what address his pension went to with out luck.
Thank you
Lorraine
