Trying from a different angle.

Looked up Captains at the Battle of Waterloo.

One was called Charles John Barnett. He is on the Medal List under Chas. Jns. Barnett - Captain.

A few weeks ago I ordered the Waterloo Medal Roll book from Naval & Military Press in the UK, on the basis that I might be able to resolve the mystery by seeing a consistency in the recording of names.

The book is full of Jns, as well as John, and has no list of abbreviations.
