When and where was he born?

There is an Edward Plumb , Colour Sergeant in the Suffolk Regiment , but he attested 24 April 1888 and was discharged 23 April 1908 at Bury St Edmunds. He was 19 on attestation so born about 1869.
This does not fit at all with your date of " 1850s".
I think you need to give a little more information.

Thanks for looking, Christine53.
All I have is that he is the father of Edward b.1848. (Mother: Ann Canard, in Marylebone). Actually seems to say Plumbridge but that name hadn’t come up on any searches.
Listed as soldier on baptism record and Colour Sergeant on son’s marriage record in 1867.

There was a Private Edward Plumridge in the 50th Foot in the early 1850's. He's in Stockport in the 1851 census, aged 24, born Oxford.

Do you have the full details of the marriage , please ?

Hi Christine53,
Thanks for your help and interest in this. I don’t think there was a marriage. It’s taken me years to find this record because I was originally thought Edwards father was called Edwin Kinnard/Kennard. When I found out Edwin died in 1841 that left me trying to trace his mother Ann (who was Irish).
She ended up in the Workhouse. I don’t think she married Edward Plumbridge because Edward jnr took his mother’s surname: Cannard/Kinnard. I hope that makes sense.
