Waterford Militia

[Deesider]

I recently stumbled across the discharge papers for a Thomas Audley ,who was discharged from the Waterford Regiment of Militia & Infantry on 29th June 1814.  At discharge he was 49 years old, indicating he was born about 1764. It states that he was born in "Passage" in County Waterford.

It also states 'whereby he is rendered incapable of further Service, and do think him a fit object of his Majesty's Royal Bounty of Kilmainham Hospital.'

Any suggestions as to how I can find out more information about the Waterford Militia at this time; more information about this Thomas Audley, baptism parents etc. Also did the Kilmainham Hospital keep records, if so where are they and are they available on line?

Thanks for any suggestions
