37th Regiment movements.

[PillyP]

My G Grandfather Henry Belton was married at Aldershot in 1863. He was described as 'Serjt. in 37th regt'.
I can't find him in 1871 or 1881 census in England, Scotland or Wales. I know he was at Greenlaw Military Prison, Scotland in 1874 & 1876,  as my Grandmother and a sibling are born there. He is described then as a 'Military Prison Warder'. Is it possible that he was not in the country, having been posted abroad? If so where would I find the movements
of the 37th Regiment  for that period and would his wife/children have been with him?
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, as you have before.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
here's the regiment's movements:

At time of the  1871 census the regiment was in India

He was certainly in India during the Mutiny in 1857-58. this from the medal roll:
Belton, Henry, 3295, Private, 37 F, No bar

In other words a private, service number 3295, in 37th Foot, and received the medal without bar
