Hi,

Google shows that the 124th (Waterford) Regiment o' foot ... established 1794 was disbanded in 1795,  so existed for a very short time.  Have you other resources showing his army experience?

yes , that is correct , he transferred to the 12th regiment of foot , as Lieutenant 11 sep 1795 . I think there was a barracks at Drogheda Ireland ? . he then joined the Royal Newfound Regiment of Fencible infantry as Captain 6 Aug 1803
