Discharge due to age and infirmity.
In the 1841 Census [HO7/487/14/25/18
Chatham Barracks Medway Kent England] Richard is a soldier living at the Chatham barracks with his wife Susanna both are aged c25. Richard is recorded as not living in the county while Susannah was born in Ireland. Also with the parents are the children Mary J aged 7, Susan age 6 both of whom were not born in the county but Esther age 1 was. See baptism
(The wife’s name as Susannah seems to be a mistake as elsewhere she is recorded as Rose Ann)WO 97 Inquiry held 12th April 1847 at Hobart town. The regiment was under orders to proceed to India it was felt that Richard should be returned to UK as he would not be suitable for the conditions endured by a soldier in IndiaEsther age 10, Cecilia age 6 and Emma age 5, all received medical treatment aboard the Hashemy. Esther and Cecilia for rubella, Emma for diarrhoea.1858 Richard Trayhorne was one of the pensioners who had their cottage built under a scheme authorised by Staff Officer Bruce where by the amount available to pensioners was not enough to cover the cost of the cottage (£47) and they agreed to pay 1/- per day towards the extra expense, however from 1st August to 31st January Richard Trayhorne paid at the rate of 2/- per day.

1862 Richard Trayhorne nominated his step son Patrick … age 15 living Athlone workhouse for an assisted immigrant. (AJCP Reel 1630 piece 123 page 377 The name is possibly Rowland)

Esther’s daughter May Moulton married John McKernan son of pensioner McKernan 1889 at Bridgetown WA

Postings of the regiment:

1835-1840 Home
1840/1 Convict ship to NSW & Tasmania

1849 posted to India from Australia
It looks as if the children born prior to 1840 born Halifax. Could not find any Anglican records for Halifax
And after 1840 in NSW or Tasmania
