Have you read Intelligence Officer in the Peninsula: Letters & Diaries of Major the Hon. Edward Charles Cocks 1786-1812 by Julia Page? On pages 140 - 141 there is an entry from Cocks' journal dated 14 September 1811 about the loss of his lover Josepha. The author then mentions Schaumann. There is nothing about a duel.
What is your source for the duel?
