Just a thought. I had a relative born Pirton nr, Hitchin. He signed up for the 10th Foot - The Lincolnshire Yellowbellies in about 1835/40. He actually signed up in Waltham Abbey which is at the other end of Hertfordshire and nowhere near Lincoln. I remember having great fun looking through the regimental records at Kew. I actually found personal details height etc in the muster records. Have you tried finding out where he signed up to join the army? This may give a clue as to where he was living at the time.
