[Torrens List] Military record

[Lunney Family <family@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin was like the Royal Hospital  
in Chelsea, London; old and wounded soldiers were looked after there.  
Apparently it also administered the payment of pensions, presumably  
if the soldier came back to retire in Ireland

I found (in the National Archives index) a record of a Thomas Torrens  
or Terrence b. Aughadery  (obviously Aghadowey) discharged in 1814  
aged 48

The index says where he served but it's not clear whether  this was a  
pension or a military hospital case

Anyone any theories about which family he was from? bearing in mind  
that he may have said he was from Aghadowey and may in fact have been  
from another local parish which he might  have thought wouldn't have  
been so recognizable' eg Kilrea
