You can see from the Chelsea register that John Filer was discharged in 1816 having served in Spain and Portugal.

Spain and Portugal suggests he served in the Peninsular war.  The Military General Service Medal runs to 1814.  I have a man in that list who had served from 1805 and was discharged 1815/16, and was not at Waterloo.  Perhaps a good number finished after returning from Spain.

Yes, John and Thomas were both in the Peninsula War, John earning the MGSM with three clasps and Thomas four.

Hi

With regard to my direct ancestor, John Shipman (b. Bridgnorth, c.1779; d. Friar Street, Bridgnorth, 22 November 1837), I have the 1816 23rd Regiment of Foot Register of Pensioners.  This has "Waterloo" written under many men's entries - but not his.  I also have his discharge papers showing service from 5 March 1798 to 24 September 1816 (as Sergeant, Corporal, Private) signed (in his own hand - matches his marriage register in 1803) on 10 September 1816.

Anything more would be very gratefully received.

Thank you.

John Shipman was recruiting in Wrexham at the time:

I am afraid he did not serve at Waterloo  - so I have no information on him.

Hi, hoping you can help me with my ancestor Thomas Dawborn. He enlisted in 1806 with the 10th Hussars, at the age of 43, and supposedly born in Hertfordshire. His Waterloo medal was incorrectly inscribed as Chas Dawborn, and I would like to hear of any additional info about this soldier please.
Thanking you, Rob

My ancestor John Mills was born at Monaghan in 1797 and enlisted with the Royal Regiment of Artillery as a gunner and driver, at the age of 16 in 1813. He was supposedly at Waterloo, and was eventually discharged medically unfit in 1840 at Woolwich. He received a pension but there is no record of him after that date. I would be really pleased if you could let me know any more about this man.
Thanking you, Rob

There is no mention of Waterloo service in his army records:

But they indicate that he was still alive in 1880 when he received an increase to his pension.

Hi Martin,
I just read your post and kind offer of look ups for the Battle Of Waterloo.
Would it be possible to look up the surname RODWAY, originating from Woodchester, Nr Stroud.
Also, if you have time the surname BINGHAM, all living in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
Thank you so much in advance .I really appreciate it.
Feel free to PM me if you find anything.
Helen.

HI Helen, No man named 'Rodway' on the Waterloo roll. 
There are seven men with the name 'Bingham' on the roll - I have data on six of the men, but alas none of them were from Gloucestershire I'm afraid. The seventh man - all I have is that he was Assistant Surgeon with the Royal Artillery and died in Ireland on 20th Jan 1825.
