Pretty tenuous but the only regiment I can find that was in Fermoy in mid 1865 and then Shornecliffe in mid 1866 was the 18th Regiment of Foot. No records though for a William Jones of the 18th at the right time - not surprising as records were routinely disposed of back in the day.

The birth for Sarah A Jones in 1866 is listed in the England & Wales Index. You can check the details on the GRO website which gives the mother's maiden name:

( You need to register and then checking the index is free ).
I presume you already have the 1901 census ? It's available on all the pay sites or free on familysearch : https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X953-2VY
I found the Mary Belinda Murphy marriage on a pay site but you can search the irish genealogy site for free:https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ . You just have to register to search. Sometimes you are able to see the certificate but in this case I couldn't. If you order a copy it should help you find out a bit more. There may be a service record for William Jones but you really need a rough idea of birthplace and date to distinguish him from the many soldiers with that name.
Hope this helps.
I think your Sarah Adeline married John Henry Grace in Fermoy in 1884 ? Her mother , Mary Belinda jones is on the 1901 census with the Grace family, born about 1841 in Clononlly, Ireland ?
If the Elham birth is the right one Sarah's mother was Mary Belinda Murphy. This may be her marriage :
