Here's a possibility for Angus, I just came across, far from definite, but the nearest I've got so far, dob is in right timescale, a new clue to investigate if nothing else.
It's a pity no more info is readily available, I've had a quick look in a couple of other Mull sites, & this is the only Angus close to the correct dates.
I suppose by 24 years old, he could have had 12 years in the army, at that time they were not too fussy about boy soldiers ages.
The dob of Angus & Margarets first born, 1802 in Glasgow, would also tie in with his discharge date, but, as usual, it will probably never be proven if this is the correct Angus or not.
Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin, was basically a sister hospital to Chelsea, so this Angus was definitely a soldier, not a navyman, a navy pensioner would have been Greenwich Hospital, which narrows things down a bit,
ANGUS LEVINGSTONE alias ANGUS LIVINGSTON; ANGUS LIVINGSTONE.
Born MULL, Argyllshire.
Served in Argyllshire Fencibles.
Discharged aged 24.
Discharged from Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin 1801.
