Thanks Trevor, I will go and have a search for this death record.
Regards, Sheila

Hello Trevor,
thank you so much, I am so grateful to have all this information  I would never have thought of him enlisting in Suffolk, I wonder do you have any other information on this Eleazer Griffiths, I haven't been able to find his parents, but he had a daughter Margaret christened 1st May 1808 at the local church when he was Billited in Fordington Barracks Nr Dorchester Dorset in 1808.

Hello Artie, I have been interested to hear about the Durham Fencibles, I had never heard mention of them or their connection to the Durham Light Infantry which is the Regiment my father (William Dover b1897 Sunderland) was in during WW1, he died when I was 7 years old in 1944, so it wasn't until 2001 that I found my fathers Medals which were among my eldest brothers possesions when he died, I have searched for his service records without success, is it possible they could be among the records that were destroyed, he appears to have two numbers 2081 and 275283 and a date of entry to France 28-10-15...., how can I know which Battalion he was in and which battles his Battalion would have faught in.......with these medals of my Fathers was one for an Eleazer Griffiths who according to the inscriptionon on it was a Trumpeter,( is that the same as Bugler ?) ... at Waterloo in the 13th Reg. Light Dragoons....but that is research for another day, in the winter maybe
Regards Galantry.

If you have any ancestors who fought at Waterloo (or you wonder if they might have done!) I'd be very interested to hear from you.

I keep a database of all BRITISH combatants and am always looking for more data to add.

Many thanks
