I have looked at the National Archives, only knowing an approximate date of Birth abt 1785 name Joseph Attwood makes him difficult to tie down. It costs about £8.50 a document which is pricey when you are not sure where to look. It seems 3 divisions existed Portsmouth, Plymouth and Chatham, but they were only admin divisions, much of the organisation was by unit number or ship, the MOD historian has not replied as of yet.
