Help please regarding a Sergeant in the 4th/60th Rifles

[KathrynBryant1]

Not sure if this is the right board, if not kindly point me to the correct one.

I have an Ancestor who was a Sergeant in the 4th/60th Rifles.  He was in India from around I believe 1870 and was back in England in by 1901.   He married twice whilst in India his first wife passing through child birth in 1880.   Am wondering if anyone can tell me please where I might find his army record.   His name was Arthur Clark (sometimes spelt with an e on the end).  Born 1846 in Chelmsford, Essex.   Arthur is shown on his first wife's death notice in 1880 as being a Sergeant in the 4th/60th Rifles and also shown on his marriage cert to his second wife in 1881 as a Sergeant in the 4th/60th Rifles.  As above, he is back in England in 1901, shown in the Census of that year but not actually sure what year he returned to England.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards


Kathryn

was he from Springfield?

it would help if you expanded your post to include the names of the wives,,,then we might be able to cross check if we find anyone.....do you know how many Arthur Clark/Clarkes there are that were in the military 

if he married Catherine Rogers  in 1881,,,his military record is available.

He served from 1864-1890.   He was in Canada from 1865-69...then in India from 1876-90.
