Chelsea Pensioner

[magpie]

can any one help me find this person

William Thrall born 1925 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire
in the 1871 and 1881 census he is liveing in Mansfield again and is listed as a Chelsea Pensioner. He got married and had children in Ireland sometime before these dates.

I have found online at The National Archives site one William Thrall born in Mansfield who is a Chelsea Pensioner but it saids the covering date range is 1810 to 1826 which I think means it's too early to be the one i am looking for. Anyone got any other ideas or thoughts on this please.

thanks
jane
