Hi there, following on from previous posts, would someone with a findmypast subscription be kind enough to provide me with the Chelsea hospital records for William Byway. I have just received his death certificate that states his occupation as (I think) Old, OAP or Out Pensioner of Chelsea Hospital.
the records look like they are in WO97 Chelsea.
Note to Jowin1 - i assume these won't be the same as the previous pension records you kindle provided me.
many thanks for your help
Alex

Hi Bishenbertie - I guess this is what I'm looking for. I presumed it would be something along the lines of when he was at Chelsea hospital? I have a copy of his pension/discharge papers that another board member kindly gave me dated March 1843 - Is this the same thing?

I haven't looked at the 6 further images as when I did previously for another board member I couldn't post the originals on this board and they are still saved on my computer as that member didn't join otr (roots) and pm me with their email address so I couldn't email that person the originals.

Hi, I'm on Rootschat (akersbyway) If you're happy to view and mail the copies over I'd be very grateful. Please feel free to pm me on there, I'm not sure that I can pm yet as I am a relatively new member on there.
THanks
Alex

I have downloaded the 6 pages for you but couldn't find you otr. You need to make several postings before you can do a pm, you can go onto the photo restoration board and say how nice the restorations are and then pm me with your email address and I will send you the pages. I must say none of which contain any medical records just about his medical discharge I haven't seen any medical records online as yet for anyone.

Hi bishenbertie
I've only just logged back on after a couple of months away!
i presume I have left it too late now to get these copies. Many apologies for not replying.
If you still have them - I am akersbyway on rootschat, please feel free to pm me and I can send you my email address (I couldn't quite work out what to do with your instructions and with the time that has passed etc....)
Many thanks
Alex
