As statedL
a list of all males 16-60 ready and tolerably willing to fight Napoelon
when he was about to invade in 1789. With occupations, disabilities;
plus farmers (some over age) with horses, carts and wagons to move the
Home Guard. It exists complete only for Bucks. There are just a handful
of parishes otherwise in the whole country.
Published complete on CD and in printed sections with groups of
parishes, by Bucks Gen Soc. (see website www.bucksgs.org.uk)
