Hi Brian, This is Rod Groom, Taryn's father, I am a direct descendant of Alexander Waddle, Alexander was a soldier private in the 100th Regiment of Foot serving in British North America (Canada) It is likely that he enlisted in the Regiment in Dublin, Ireland. I have found Tasmanian Gov. Archives listing him as coming from Ireland. We have attached to our tree a document authorising Waddle's transportation to N.S.W. following his court martial at Fort George. This document was signed by General Sir James Henry Craig K B, Governor of British North America at that time. We have not found the reason for his trial and transportation, but expert opinion suggests desertion. During wartime he would likely have been executed.
