Apparently these are unindexed, it is therefore
difficult to see how individuals can be found within this massive body of
documents (of 20 volumes). If found, however, there can be a wealth of
information:-

Excluding those
for surgeons, in theory this series looks to be highly useful, but in reality
is useless. Although there is an external index the volume numbers do not match
with the surviving volumes and it is patently obvious that there is a great
many of these missing. Apart from anything else, the registers for officers
other than surgeons do not show payments before c.1852. (From conversations
with relevant members of staff at TNA, they did not know this.) Up to now I
have not tested those for surgeons.
