Further to my earlier remarks, I should point out that the later entries from 1806 have confused George Dundas with George Heneage Dundas. In 1808 the former was sent to India where he served as commissioner of the naval dockyard at Bombay, and he did not serve in the Walcheren expedition.

I am finding this site very useful. In this case, for example, the Discovery search engine at TNA does not include a promotion and brief return to sea by George Dundas in 1790, but which is shown in ADM 6/24
