Yes, I have an Ancestry subscription. I've got a lot to work through now, to establish that we have got the right body. The website about the 96th Foot, http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~garter1/96thfoot.htm does list two Griffiths, both with the initial E, but without rank, so it looks promising.
