Excuse my ignorance

[Asa]

but is a Prussian who enlisted in the British Navy in 1800 likely to appear in the Alien Entry Books or would he bypass that?

[Guinevere]

No idea, Asa, sorry. My guess would be that he would bypass the system, though.

[kiterunner]

But did he enlist in the Navy before coming to Britain, or the other way round?

[Asa]

Thank you both. I did wonder about that, Kiterunner - I was trying to save myself going through the entries page by page but I think I'll just have to get on with it:-)
