I guess this means that he joined the English army, and served in Canada, as many thousands did |

I don't know whether this is the record that Elaine found ......... but I don't see the proof that it is "your" James as there is no indication that it is the 14th Foot or even the 3rd Battalion ................ |

I did look at the image of that record ........... and it was just a printed list of the various troops ........... Captain Fenton's was the only named one on that page, but there were many Privates listed of the preceding troop. on that page. |

Thomas Charles Fenton was born in 1790 and became a Cornet at the age of fourteen in the 4th (Queens Own) Dragoons by purchase on 13 November 1804 and rose to lieutenant in the same regiment on 22 July 1806 and captain by purchase on 2 January 1812. As such Fenton sailed to the Peninsula in 1809 and saw action throughout the war, at Talavera, Busaco, Usagre, Albuera, Villagarcia, Salamanca, Vitoria and Toulouse. Returning home in 1814, Fenton went on half pay, but transferred to the 2nd (Royal North British) Dragoons, or Scots Greys and commanded a troop at the Battle of Waterloo. Despite all these adventures Fenton miraculously came through these campaigns without wound or serious illness, a fortunate man indeed, or was it his hardy Yorkshire upbringing? |
