These records have been mentioned a few times on the forum. Most believe that they are really only indexes, rather that links to substantial records. But I do not have access.

To me this looks like it links to the 1861 Index on Findmypast. Which is based on the second quarter muster for that year. As such the only missing information is that he was stationed in Deesa in India.

I cannot find his service record, but I have found that in 1871 he was a Sergeant Instructor of Musketry in the same regiment and stationed in Aldershot. He was discharged on 26 October 1875 after 21 years 140 days service. He was given a pension of 2s 3d (27 pence) a day to be paid in the Halifax district.

The 1871 census confirms he is with the 33rd Foot in Aldershot. He is 34, single and born in Sutton, Yorkshire.
