Subject: Hubbard - French POW in England during Napoleonic Wars

Surnames: Hubbard
Does anyone know where I can find records of French soldiers from Napoleon's Armies that were held as Prisoner's of War in England? Family legend is that our name Hubbard comes from a French POW that was held in England during the Napoleonic Wars and went on to marry a local English girl. Apparently my Grandfather used to talk of his grave being down south somewhere (England). That's all the info I have. I have got stuck on the Hubbard line and wondered if I could start from the other end and try and match them in the middle! However I can't find any records online anywhere of French POW's.
Anyone got any suggestions? Many thanks. Kim :)
