Answering my own question, yes I think he was.

His army records list his wife Susannah (Rogers crossed out - could this be her maiden name?) & gives details of his marriage on 12th June 1860 to Susannah Rogers at Dromore Down without leave (naughty man!). Recognised 07/06/1871.

Best wishes

His service record has him "at home" between 18/01/1858 and 14/10/1875. He was a clerk in the Royal Engineer Offices for 8 years but it doesn't say where that was.
