I am looking for information regarding the family of FRANCIS ANDERSON my gggf who joined the British Army as a shoemaker 18th Foot in March 1840 at aged 20 years at Castlebar having been born in the Parish of Turlough.  He served for 21 years in Bombay, China, Bengal and Burma before pensioned off to Preston in July 1861.  He came to Western Australia aboard the "Merchantman" in 1863 as an enrolled penioner guard with his wife Elizabeth and two children Robert Francis and Elizabeth.
