I keep a detailed database of all 30,000 Waterloo combatants and am happy to help for free with any enquiries regarding Waterloo soldiers.

    Hello Martin,
Hoping perhaps you may be able to shed some light on my ancestor Mervin Foster/Forster Esq. who was in the 33rd reg’t of foot (Wellingtons old reg’t)
On the 7Dec1812 Mervins brother Malcolm set up an indented lease of conveyance for Mervin, his heir and offsprings granting him the lands of Dernabackey etc in Co.Fermanagh, Ireland.
However,  on the 27Jan1816 there was a reconveyance of the lands of Dernabackey back to Malcolm (no mention of Mervin).
Therefore, I assumed he may possibly have died at the battle of Waterloo.
I would be really grateful if you could check if he is mentioned on your Waterloo database.
Regards,
John Forster
