English Civil War - Help from the audience

Hello AH!

Been a long time lurker, first time caller. Got to say, this is my most frequent webstop during lunchbreaks at work. Always one entertaining read or another.

I'm currently working on an English Civil War timeline, and I'd appreciate some help from anyone in the know. I'm trying to be as thorough as possible in my research but so far things have been a bit... vague.

Essentially what I need is -
-Rough estimates of troop numbers in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland around 1658. I've got a few rough numbers for specific battles during the Civil War but I suspect the numbers would be lower following the end plus it doesn't given how many troops were active at any given time.

I don't want to give away too much of what I'm working on but it basically involves a flare up of tensions in England due to a rather unexpected POD. Plus if things go the way I think they will, England may get into a protracted conflict on the continent so I need to know what forces can be thrown at it.

Any help that can be given would be appreciated.

A warning though, in my timeline the Puritans might be hanging around a while longer, so Christmas may be banned permanently. :p My apologies for the lack of presents.
