Fusilier veterans buried at Llanbadrig, Anglesey

[Hywyn]

Maybe the book I saw at Caernarfon County Archives was a copy of this one on sale at RWF Museum (and probably copy at the RWF Archives?)

http://www.rwfmuseum.org.uk/pu.html

(7th book down if the link doesn't open with it expanded)

I see it contains:
Rolls of Officers, NCO's & Men, by companies at Waterloo. (which doesn't look to be the format of the list upthread)

The Waterloo Casualty Rolls.

Biographical notes on Officers, NCO's & Men present at Waterloo. (which might be the list upthread)

NCO's & Men Medal Rolls. Military General Service Medal. With biographical notes.

Anyone got a copy of this book to hand? Not a primary source like the Descriptive Register but nonetheless could throw some light for us.

Thats what I scanned from Hywyn. The Holmes/Kirby Book.

I don't have FMP, so possibly i'm only seeing part of the story. Tell me what I'm looking for specifically, I will have another look.

Cheers

Sorry Al. Thought you had.

I'm rusty on how to do attachments. Hopefully 'our' Jones will be displayed below.





edit: I see it worked. I'll address the others later.

The Denbigh John Jones (hopefully)

[Hywyn]

To recap then:

The Holmes/Kirby database shows only two John Jones with RWF at Waterloo. At least, they do so on that list in the book.

Records found for their 'John Jones, Denbigh'

No records readily found for their 'John Jones, Carmarthen' (Not in itself evidence he wasn't of course. Might be search method error/misindexing etc)

We have primary source info of one not on their list, lets say 'John Jones Anglesey' plus anecdotal evidence of a RWF Waterloo veteran buried on Anglesey (Clives' opener etc) which matches most of the primary source info.

John Jones Anglesey and John Jones Carmarthen enlisted within a day of each other at same age.

Query. Will the original Register at RWF Archives throw light on whether these two have been mixed up in the Holmes/Kirby book.

I would say yes! Depending on the readability of the page. The book gives name, occupation, given age, enlistment date, parish. Worth a look.

Interestingly in the book, there is also a Peter Jones of Llanfihangel, Cardigan who is also attested on the 25th Aug 1807. Aged 22yrs, served in the Light Company, date of discharge not given. Trade - Hatter.

[Hywyn]

Discharged 1825. Did 17 yrs plus 2 yrs for Waterloo. I'll attach them if you want them.

For the avoidance of any misunderstanding on who'll do it will you be able to sort that Archive look up?

edit: I don't know when the next time I'm over that way.

[Hywyn]

This one look likely to be John Jones Carmarthen on that list. Discharged 1812 therefore did not serve Waterloo. Not conclusive given how common the name is but.....

Main points from list with details from discharge doc in bracket

Born St Peter's Carmarthen (Yes)
trade = weaver (yes)
Attested 24 8 1807 (25 8 1807)
Age 26 (23)


Re previous search for him, 1) the age is slightly out 2) I was searching attested date i. e 1807. He is indexed under disch date of 1812. Nontheless I should have picked him up on John Jones/ Carmarthen trawl. Ah well.

edit: there are two docs but I haven't sussed out how to clear my attachment limit. Everything needed is on this one I think.

[ap1]

It will be Clive or myself, we are there most weeks and know where the register is.
