I've a copy of the above roll which just gives the rank, first name and surname as well as his roll number on the list and no other details.
If necessary I can look up any names on the lists for anyone that needs it.

Hi there I am tracing the history of one of my ancestors who served for many years with the 35th regiment of foot. One of the regiments was present at Waterloo. I want to find out if my ancestor was present with that regiment. If you can help it will save a visit to the national archives for the present. His name is Denis Nicholson. Spelled as Denis or Dennis or Dennie.
Thanks

If you pm me I'll send you the 2 lists which amount to about 300 pages and you can look for yourself.

Hi Denis
If you have your ancestor's record it will say if he served at Waterloo, as each 'Other Rank' present got a separate 'Waterloo' pension. Later on this was changed to two years added to the pensionable service.

An ancestor of a friend was I think in the 35th stationed in Barbados in 1879. I am keen to find out more about his career. His name is George Henry Spencer 1858-1930 of Sheffield. He is listed in 1891 and 1901 census as being a Sergeant Instructor in The Volunteer Infantry based in Miloom near Ulverston
Many thanks
