After trawling through the muster rolls all afternoon. I found several from various county regaments, sevral from Scotland and Irland and all so quite a few for the Boer war. There was also tax records for several countys all around the 1500-1600 (but there might be others). And that was only up to page 20 I strongly surgest that you try to put a county or regament name or number in frount of your search and hope it comes up or you will have to trawl through 100s of sites from the USA but it can be worth it as I have found quite a few to add to my favorites list.

Go in to seach and put in MUSTER ROLLS you will get lots of them up I have found some going back as far as 1500s I am still seaching them at this time but found ones for Cornwall Irland and other Countys.
