The following page gives payment details for
the time, in this case apparently not until 1821!

ADM 6/221 - Captains, Commanders, Lieutenants (and also ‘Warrant officers of
Wardroom Rank’) - entitlement to half pay 1834-45
Sectioned in
ranks, then chronologically for the commissioned officers these show dates when
individuals were removed from half pay and the reason. These are not
necessarily simple to follow though.
In the ‘Commissioned Officers’ section
immediately following ‘Acct Genl, 1 June 1845’:-

surnames beginning A-C - Payments for years 1871-81
In alphabetical
order, these volumes deal with ‘Half-Pay, Reserved, and Retired Pay of Naval
Officers’ under vote 15 (of the annual estimates). There is very little
information other than the technical of the payments concerned and consequently
is not liable to be interesting to most genealogists.
Source: TNA: PRO: PMG 15/148 - All
commissioned ranks - Half Pay only 1892-1912
These volumes are
in alphabetical order, but there is virtually no information interesting to
genealogists and even little on payments themselves.
Source: TNA: PRO: PMG 15/181 - All
commissioned rank - Half Pay only 1912-1920
Again, these
volumes are in alphabetical order, but there is virtually no information
interesting to genealogists and even little on payments themselves.
