Thanks for your message, yes I am still working on this line.  Did find a cousin in Victoria about 3 hours south of me.

Would appreciate any details you can share.  If you cannot attach here my email is comoxvalleybob at gmail.com

Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you. Bob

Thank you for your reply.  He does not show up in later census as he moved to British Columbia, Canada where he has many, many children, grand children, etc. 
He was given 2 large parcels of land in what is now Sechelt located ( via BC Ferry ride ) north of Vancouver.  I have a fairly detailed tree for his family, and I have been able to trace his spouse's family as well.
From the marriage record his father was also John, but no record of his birth as noted in the census.
Thanks again for the other information, I will keep searching and hope that one day I am successful.
Kind Regards, Bob Scales in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have that information.  I need more proof and hence need to find the original application forms.

Thank you but already have that ( along with all family in Canada of which there are many ).  However I have been unable to find confirmation of that birth, so that is why I am looking for his application form.  I assume they have/had one as it seems most army type applications do.

He would have signed up around 1850, perhaps in Greenwich as he is there in the 1851 census.

Looking to find a copy of his application.  Trying to trace line back but conflicting info regarding his birthplace and birthdate.
