There are a number of births to this couple up to 1858.

Hello there and welcome to rootschat

I  guess you  could interpret from  the information  that Kris has posted  that his father was dead when he arrived in Australia?

I wonder if the  - late colour sergeant 64th regiment could also be interpreted as former colour sergeant 64th Regiment.  His records would be available at Kew Archives or you could contact the Staffordshire Regiment Museum
