Pensions
awarded to Commissioned Officers for wounds
Source: TNA: PRO: ADM 181/17 - 1806-10
These records are
part a long series relating to the Naval Estimates and are filed by year.
Although not nearly as neat as another series (stretching to 1815) that appear
to be copies of the final products submitted to Parliament for consideration,
they give similar or identical information.
As an example for
1806 under ‘Pensions and Allowances to Sea and Marine Officers Comifsioners of His Majesty’s Navy their Widows and the
Relations of Sea Officers’ are examples:-
|
Pensions |
Date of Orders for having them |
Sum |

Captn Edwd Roe of
the Racoon who was severely wounded on 2nd June 1796 in an Action
with the Enemy Gun Boats off Flushing |
7 Jan 1797 |

Please note that
these entries are found in the same registers as pensions for Widows of
Commissioned Officers killed in action or, as a consequence of naval service in
the following volumes. Also, it should be noted that often it is simply not
possible to see from these records whether pensions have been awarded for being
killed in action, or for wounds. So, it is suggested that these should only be
searched after locating pensions from other sources, such as the Naval
Estimates (see above).

commissioned ranks (as applicable) 1793-1821
Internally indexed
at rear of ledger, with a wounded officers category.
There is little actual info other than financial, although these entries do at
least confirm that officers had been wounded.

It is not possible
to identify pensions specifically for officers awarded pensions for wounds.
(Experiments in attempting to trace officers definitely known to have been
wounded have not resulted in finding pensions.) See pensions for widows of
