Hello Rick, I have found another website which looks very promising - you can send an e-mail and have the index searched for £3 per SURNAME - it is a paying website.

WO 121/188/513
GEORGE GREEN Born [Not Known] Served in Independent Company; 26th Dragoons (Light); 5th Royal Veteran Battalion

5th Garrison Battalion, men from – 2nd battalion 26th & 42nd Regiments of Foot

Northumberland including Newcastle upon Tyne & Berwick upon Tweed were required to raise 635 men, I have found information on 509. Men from Berwick upon Tweed were not sent to the same regiment or reserve as their comrades, but went to the 26th Foot or the 5th Battalion Reserve where the men from the Lowlands of Scotland went. Again most of the place names appear to be the town where the men enrolled, rather than the parish they represented, but it is likely the men came from or represented the surrounding parishes. Some of the spellings of place names are interesting. Some of the men have no first name as they were only a rank was shown. TNA E182/283 & 284

Army of Reserve 1803
Search 26,314 records of Other Ranks who were part of the 1803 England and Wales Army of Reserve.
Acts of Parliament were passed in July 1803 which required each county in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales to provide a stated number of men to make up an Army of Reserve. These men were called up for the 'defence of the realm' at a time when there was a very serious threat of invasion.
The men were only required to serve in Britain and they enlisted for a limited period, commonly five years. The men from each county were allocated as reservists to a specific regiment or a specific numbered reserve battalion, of which 16 were formed. Several counties were grouped together and their men sent to the same regiment or reserve battalion.
These records cover the men who signed up from England and Wales. Many of them went on to enlist as regular soldiers for an unlimited period of service. These are records of the Exchequer and the source of the marching money is specifically the Land Tax records.
These records provide valuable information about your military ancestors. Due to the nature of the records, however, the information provided varies greatly from soldier to soldier. All the records give The National Archives reference number. The records originate from E182 (Deserter Bounty Certificates) and WO12 (Muster Books and Pay Lists) at The National Archives.
