I looked up naval records on Ancestry when looking for John Corkill for another thread, and thought someone might be interested in this record for L D Corkill who served in the Napoleonic Wars.

The series is: "UK, Naval Medal and Award Rolls, 1793-1972.

This database contains lists of more than 1.5 million officers, enlisted personnel and other individuals entitled to medals and awards commemorating their service with the Royal Navy and Royal Marines between 1793 and 1972. The collection includes WWI and WWII medal and award rolls."

This was the only series pre-1800 (from 1793), and only one Corkill was listed.

I looked under Cork* to pick up some of the spelling variations, also Kark*.
