Hi List, l have been tracing one of my ancestors,Thomas Pendlebury. l now believe that he served in both of the above Wars.He enlisted in Bolton,Lancashire and went onto London,where he married Elizabeth Townsend in 1811.In 1812 and 1815 daughters Charlotte and Eleanor are born in the British lying in hospital,Holborn,London.Elizabeth was referred to the Hospital by Lady Robert Manners.In 1812 Thomas is recorded on Charlotte's Baptism as 22 years old,from Bolton,Lancs, Soldier. Robert Manners was titled,and served in both of the above Wars,l believe Lady Manners would have thus kept an eye out for the wives of the men in her husbands Unit. Thomas was not alive in 1847 to apply for the Medals,l have so far been unable to find his name entered anywhere re War info.If anyone has ideas for me on how to go about finding records l would be so grateful.Thomas is still Soldier on daughter Eleanor's birth in 1815,and could have been a soldier until the mid 1820's when he shows up back in the Bolton area of Lancashire.he was a gameskeeper in later life.Thanks list,Pauline Pendlebury,Australia.

You might try the National Archives: http://www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=14 Soldiers' Discharge Papers for 1760-1913. Several other sites are referenced including Muster Rolls from 1730 - 1898. Don't know how much is available 'on-line'. Good luck.
