Hello.  As far as I understand from findmypast he enlisted in 1800. 
Does anyone know where to access his original war record. 
Yes, it's the same William Buckley that was sent to Australia as a convict.

Thank you.  Elaine

Do you mean the William Buckley who was born in Bentworth, Cheshire and joined the Grenadier Guards in 1800 aged 19? Served at Waterloo and was  discharged to in October 1825?

Bentworth (As on that FindMyPast record) and Siddington are over 4 hours walk apart.
I presume you have some reason for thinking they are the same person…what is that evidence?

When and where was your William Buckley convicted? What ship was he transported in?
