George Mason

Born about 1770 at Orton, Westmorland (according to census information).  According to his daughter Sarah's marriage certificate, in 1841 George Mason was a discharged soldier.

George Mason served in the 44thRegiment of Foot under General Charles Rainsford. According to the Muster Rolls and Pay Lists[WO12/5640]in 1800 and 1801, he was stationed at Gibraltar, Malta, Marmorice Bay, and at a camp near Alexandria.(sourceNational Archives, Kew)–keep checking rest of entries. A soldier's pay in those days was not great: at the beginning of the year 1800, George was earning £1:1:11½ for a 31 day month (only £1:1:3 if there were just 30 days in the month) but times must have got hard, because by the time they arrived in Malta at the end of October 1800, the pay had dropped to just 15s 16d a month and remained at that level right through till the end of 1801! He was discharged due to blindness on 4thJune 1804 aged29 years, having served in the 44thRegiment for either5 or 10 years (there is a discrepancy in the discharge papers) and recommended to receive His Majesty’s Royal Bounty of Chelsea Hospital. He was born in Culton or Oulton in Westmorland.[WO121/71/171]

(source Death Certificate)

Barbara Hunter

According to census information, Barbara was born about 1790 in Milburn.  However, the most likely christening on IGI is:

Barbara Hunter, chr 15 jun 1788 Morland, father Thomas Hunter mother Rachel Clark.  This couple had four other children christened between 1778 and 1784 in Milburn. (source IGI) – check parish records

She was married in 1809 to George Mason (had George been married before?)

Barbara Mason died on 18 August 1856 at Market Brough, aged 67 years.  She was described as the widow of George Mason, Chelsea Pensioner and the cause of death was Enteritis, not certified.  The death was reported by Joseph Mason, present at the death.
