34 Crutched Ffriars
For his certification as a Lieutenant 0n 2 aug 1793 he gave his birthday as 22 Febr 1772.
Just as many other young dogs of war he falsied his birth record to make sure of his share of the action. He was not alone in this and the authorities evidently winked at it.
Nelson for example, gave his age as 22 at his certification in 1779 where he was just 18.

Commanders-in-Chief of the mediterranean fleet
In January 1812, Captain Edward Codrington commanded a small squadron under Admiral Edward Pellew operating along the Spanish coast consisting of his ship, HMS Blake (74), HMS Curaçoa (36, Captain John Tower), HMS Rainbow (28, Captain Gardiner Henry Guion), HMS Papillon (6, Commander James Hay), HMS Sparrowhawk (18, Commander James Pringle) and HMS Merope (10, Commander Edward Flin).
Captain Codrington vs The French Army
On the morning of January 30, Rainbow and Merope encountered Curaçoa just off the town of Vilassar de Mar flying signal flags indicating she had observed the French army advancing along the coast road. The three ships then took the French under fire killing and wounding a number of troops and forcing them to fall back on Barcelona and take a more circuitous inland route to their objective.
The insurgents were besieged in Gramvousa for more than two years and they had to resort to piracy to survive. Gramvousa became a hive of piratical activity that greatly affected Turkish-Egyptian and European shipping in the region.
