I shall pass your enquiry to a military historian of my acquaintance who could probably help you.

I'm not sure if it's a typo on your part, but anyone killed at or after Culloden would have an "end date" of 16th April 1746 or later!

I received the following e-mail today. I hope it helps:

Hàllo a-Niall:

There are many references extant across the world, particularly in Alba, of
course. The most comprehensive compilation, and I assure ye I have researched
far and wide for a number of years, would be the latest edition of "No
Quarter Given-The Muster Roll Of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's Army,
1745-46." It is edited by Alastair Livingstone of Bachuil, along with
Christian Aikman and Betty Stuart Hart. Sir Donald Cameron of Lochiel does
the Foreword and it is published by Neil Wilson Publishing, Glasgow, under
the auspices of the '45 Association. I have the compilation if he would like
to contact me, and am involved with the Association. Rev. Ken Wigston is a
friend and is the President, whilst Norman MacDonald, another friend is a
prominent historian and President of the Clan Donald of Edinburgh-both are
officers of the Association and contributed to the work. This Third Edition
is the most complete record we have on who served, their fates and the
organisation of the original battalions. I hope this helps, but your
correspondent should know that we reckon that no more than 30-40% of those
who served in this Army are registered in any documents. I have a very
interesting example of this in my 8th GGF. Take care, Neil and thanks for
your enquiry.
