Lost the thread of who was looking for a soldier c1806 in the 71st Regiment of Foot so will reply here.
The 71st Regiment of Foot became the Royal Highland Fusiliers - so it's possible your ancestor was Scottish. There's 4 soldiers in my tree from that Regiment but earliest didn't enlist until 1840. I do have a small book on the history of the Regiment somewhere.
Perhaps if you can look at the National Archives muster books or pay records you may find where he enlisted as a clue to where he was from.
