The [[British Library]] holds a series of nominal rolls entitled ''Prize and Batta Rolls'' '''IOR/L/MIL/5/142-350''' (1793-c1886). A full list of contents can be found [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_2-2&cid=1-2-3-6-2#1-2-3-6-2| here] on [[Access to Archives]]. Although most of the lists are for unpaid shares of prize money (as this then became of the property of the [[East India Company]], there are lots that do have full lists of names so it is worth checking any you are interested in. A number of the files also consist of various correspondence.
