My ancestor John Parr was born in Ireland in 1778 and went off to join the Peninsular army where he was wounded and I think left in 1815 to become a Chelsea Pensioner. I can't find out exactly where he was born nor who his parents were but I'm sure they or earlier family members must have been English and I want to trace them.
John also married a woman called Lane Hilton who was born in 1794 in Gibralter. I'm guessing she was an Army brat but can't find any record of her birth at all.
Any help with these problems would be greatly appreciated as it's put a large block on that side of the family.
Thank you
David
