I am trying to seek further information on my four times great grandfather John McKennon !
according to a headstone erected by his daughter Helen McKennon in Irvine Ayrshire Scotland , he died in Chelsea in October 1810 aged 24, giving him an estimated dob of 1786 .
he was "married" to Isabella Black McKinnon and on her death certificate , she was the widow of John McKinnon , soldier , she was born in Arran, Buteshire, Scotland .
their daughter Helen was born in 1808 on the Isle of Arran Bute Scotland .
this is the only information I have !
so "soldier" and dying in Chelsea suggests he was a Chelsea Pensioner but this has not been confirmed !
I have checked National Archives but the correct John McKInnon/McKennon doesnt seem to be there
any help would be gratefully appreciated !
regards
Elinga
