Have sent you the Army Pension Record images.

To go further back with Lancelot you will need Scotlandspeople. It is a pay to view site (£6 for 30 credits) but you can view and download certs and Scottish certs give far more info than English ones, eg a birth cert will show both parents full names and when and where they married.
