I'm very excited to find what I think will be the answer to a question about an ancestor captured from a merchant ship during the Napoleonic War. However this answer is on Find My Past and I don't have a subscription to this site. It is in the Prisoners of War record set for JW Cownden in 1812. Please can anyone take a look and give me the details or original image? Thank you.

Image isn't all that good Gill. Transcription has little in way of detail. Hope you can read it.
