Had a good look for James in the military records but there is nothing that matches at Chelsea or the Militia.

There are a few officers in the army listings but without further information it is impossible to match him up.

James could also be with the East India Company and FIBIS would be a good place to look.

Had a good look for a Nicholas Powell (and variants of) being born in Ireland via that VERY EXPENSIVE site, Irish Family History Foundation, and found zero which is a worry.
