    Default thomas tapp

    Hi

    Thomas Tapp b.1792 Newington ,Kent , he was a Army pensioner on the 1861 census , I believe he served at Waterloo , with the 2nd Batt. 3rd regiment of Foot .

    I have found him on the medal role , but Iam unable to confirm if this is the same man .

    Can anyone help or point me in the right direction ?

    thank you
    Dean

    Hi Dean,

    Findmypast has attestation and discharge papers for a Thomas Tapp b. Newington 1793.

    See British Army Service Records 1760-1915.

    There is a reference to Waterloo but FMP's terms prevent me from quoting all the details.

    3rd regiment of Foot
    I know the 3rd regiment of Foot sounds right for someone born in Newington but I think WO100 actually says 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards.

    Why not read the National Archives Research Guide. The guide also points to "British Army soldiers up to 1913: further research" which is also worth reading.

    Dean,

    There is also a separate record on FMP relating to his status as a Chelsea Pensioner (the 1851 census gives his occupation as Army Private, Chelsea Pensioner - HO107 Piece 1627 Folio 360 Page 5).
