Fenny...
Does anyone here have a copy of the Waterloo Medal Roll who could do a
lookup for me?

I believe an ancestor of mine called Robert Fa(u)lkner fought at Waterloo.

CWatters...
National Archive has...

WO 97/315/106 ROBERT FAULKNER Born BELFAST, Down Served in 10th Foot
Regiment Discharged aged 36 1799-1816

and

WO 97/1227/26 ROBERT FALCONER alias ROBERT FALKNER Born KINNEFF,
Kincardineshire Served in Royal Artillery Discharged aged 44 1807-1835

Fenny...
Thank you. The second looks much more promising, as the family were
supposed to have Scottish connections.

CWatters...
and I don't think the 10th Foot were at Waterloo (the RA were)...

T.M. Sommers...
They do not appear in either of these Orders of Battle:

I have no other information on him, such as date or place of birth. The
later family were definitely spelled Falkner, but this is often misspelled
as Faulkner.

All info gratefully received.
