Title: Waterloo lookup please
Post by: jacoby28 on Tuesday 09 December 08 17:25 GMT (UK)
Looking for G/G/Grandfather,   Willliam BATHAM/BEATHEM a private in the 3rd Regiment of Footguards. I understand from Scots guards depot that he was a late addition to 2 Company and should have been at Waterloo.  His home was in Great Andrew St /St Giles in the fields.  Any help will be much appreciated

There was a Corporal William BAYNHAM in Lt Col Hon Sir Alexander Gordons' Company.

Kew have his discharge papers on microfilm - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATID=-3894653&CATLN=7&Highlight=%2CWILLIAM%2CBAYNHAM&accessmethod=0

You can order them for 40p (?) a page I believe. The reference starting WO97 needs to be quoted.

They do not have papers of anyone called BATHAM or BEATHEM
