Artizan's Pikerton maybe?
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Maybe some Boer War Boers? Black Tree make some I know, and there are probably other manufacturers. Also maybe look at the Perry Mafeking figures.

Definately an ideal choice, I would also as said use some of the Artizan, and Brigade western figures, also worth looking at other victoriana, possibly ecven some of the Musketeer and Mutton chop VBCW ranges

After having looked at several options I plan on using the bulk of Old Glory Europeans from Boxer rebellion and also their Cuban rebels from their Spam Am range, interspersed with Figures from Dixons Western range.
