The following list is derived from the PRO on-line catalogue - <http://www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/search.asp/> - however the names have been normalised (those found are shown as e.g. 'CANE' in remarks); the place of Birth is also normalised (unidentifiable/queriable are shown as [] within remarks), the Date of Birth is derived from year and age at discharge. In a few cases the Dates of Service are derived from additional remarks. Personal search may discover more information - this page is meant purely as a guide to the records.
The Manx Fencibles are discussed elsewhere; the 2nd Regt Royal Veterans served on the Island 1814-1815
