My g/gfather ,born ca 1853 was described in the 1911 as an army pensioner. He served practically his whole time in Ireland and then India I have found several alternatives from Free BMD asto where and when he died. Presumably his pension ceased when he died, so can anyone tell me how I can find this information? Thank you

Alternative answer is to see if there are any burial trancripts/ Monumental Inscriptions/ Probate Calendar entries, newspaper notices of death - any of which may confirm the death date you are looking for. You don't say where he was when last sighted in the records, if you post his name and the place he was last seen, with any other releveant info (wife/family names) we can have a look and see what we can come up with. -- Tickettyboo
