Have you looked for him on the 1861 and 1871 census records to see what was indicated as his occupation at those times? |

His profession will be shown on the 1871 census and also on the birth certificates of any children. If you are lucky, the latter may also show the regiment. |

My Great-Great Uncle on his wedding registration listed his prof as a soldier. Any ideas on how to confirm or trace this 'fact' ?. |
