If you can find out which regiment your ancestor was with then the muster rolls will maybe tell you exactly what he was doing, i.e. with the regiment or detached for other duties, etc. If you have not been to the NA before then you will need a photo ID (eg driving licence or similar) and a domestic bill with your name and address on it. With that you can obtain a reader's card, takes minutes, and then access the vast library of documents. If your ancestor was at Waterloo then if you can supply details of regiment etc then I would like to pass you on to a body of people who are trying to assemble 200 direct descendants of Waterloo men to coincide with the 2015 bi-centenary.

I think you will have to have a pretty special reason for filming there but if you make a good case then they might just be persuaded.

Within the family, the first Duke made Thomas his bodyguard, and so he was served by my grandfather's great, great grandfather. So I want to make this in part, a recognition of my own family's part in history. If there is any thing of my forebear about the Museum, I would appreciate know more.

Mick is a retired surgeon and a world authority on medicine and surgery of the Napoleonic era. It's a fascinating book and a really good read.
