Didn't want to ignore your request, but it looks as though hanes teulu already has the matter well in hand.   Regards Roy
Nagle was appointed a groom to George IV 3months before George III  died, and finished 3 months before George IV died coz he himself had died. Nagle was Edmund Burke's cousin, ward, and heir, and mates with Dr Sam Johnson. His cousin David Nagle was the Irish crossdressing highwayman 'Captain Rock'' and his other cousin James Nagle saved the Duke of Wellington's career and life in India at the battle of Assaye in 1803. His other cousin Adolphus Nagle was one of the 400 men who defended the farmhouse La Haye Sainte during the Battle of Waterloo and thus , by many accounts, saved Europe from Napoleon's Grande Armée. His aunt Nano Nagle is an Irish saint, and his grandfather Sir Richard was James II attorney General and Minster of War. He took George IV to Ireland, Scotland and Calais on the yacht. and he married an industrialists widow with a plantation on barbados

I would liken the Sea fencibles to a maritime Home Guard, from what I've read one of the key reasons for joining was they were exempt from the Press Gangs (assuming they had the chance to explain)
Yes, correct, founded by Admiral Popham originally, and expanded greatly during The Crisis ( 1803 - 5) I was specifically after details of the roles, ranks, duties, and persons of the Sussex Sea Fencibles during the crisis. All the rest I know and have a book written about, and am filling in missing fine details

The National Archives in ADM 28, Navy Board: Sea Fencibles PayLists 1789-1810

These consist of musters and  pay lists receipted by the men acknowledging their receipt of pay.

and appointment of naval officers to the sea fencibles 1798-1810

The records are arranged under districts.

Hope this might help.

If you click on Browse, you will get the areas covered, and can see details for individual ports but the lists of men have not been digitised.

A google search on "Sea fencibles pay lists and vouchers" will also take you to the TNA site
