Can you help me to solve a puzzle? My ancestor, Lt. Waldron (sometimes William) Kelly of the 40th of foot was probably at Waterloo. His service record says French Flanders. A letter that his wife wrote to Queen Victoria, a letter forwarded with accompanying letters from sir William Anson and Sir John Scott Lillie to the Duke of Wellington, state that she was at Waterloo and New Orleans with him. I can't imagine that those eminent men would have countenanced a lie. Can you help?
