There is a published Roll of all those who fought at Waterloo. Try Googling 'Waterloo Roll', which I think will give you some references.

Cpl James Harmer, served at Waterloo in No.6 Coy (Captain Kirwan's company), 1/4th Foot.
Also served in the Peninsular War, and is entitled to a 2-bar MGS medal for Corunna and San Sebastian.

So he was definitely still alive in 1847 to claim the medal.
