yes, with that date it would be a colonial pension record, probably noted in Van Diemen's Land. It's the statement of service at discharge that typically has a signature. These are usually WO97 or sometimes WO121. The attached typical example is a WO97 discharge for a James Paine of Benfield who was discharged from the Invalid Company in NSW in Sep 1823 aged 70. It shows his complete dated service history, place of origin, age and place of enlistment, physical description and signature on discharge - a very handy document to get. It appears that whilst the similar 1822 discharge record for Alexander George has been found indexed by TNA in their originals, it hasn't been indexed by findmypast when they scanned this dataset at Kew. I've had this problem several times before. Not all records cited in the TNA index are readily found at findmypast. Some are indexed differently to TNA and can be found with a little persistance some just don't seem to be there at all.
