William Collins INCE - Royal Army - Gibraltar? - 1840s

I am looking for information about William Collins Ince.
His baptism:
First name(s)   William Collins
Last name   Ince
Birth year   1816
Baptism year   1816
Baptism date   06 Dec 1816
Place   Chester, St Mary-On-The-Hill
County   Cheshire
Country   England
Mother's first name(s)   -
Father's first name(s)   John
Father's last name   Ince
Record set   Cheshire Diocese of Chester parish baptisms 1538-1911


It says on his daughter Amelia's (b 1840) baptism that he was a Gunner in the Royal Army. I have a fair notion that this is him:
First name(s)   William
Last name   Ince
Sex   Male
Service number   -
Rank   Gunner & Driver
Unit or regiment   3rd Bn. Royal Artillery
Sub unit   2nd Company
Year   1841
Remarks   -
Location   Dover
Country   Great Britain
The National Archive reference   WO 10/1818
Record set   British Army, Worldwide Index 1841

William was married to Jemima BLOWN. They married in Dover, Kent, in 1838. Their daughter Amelia was also born in Dover, in 1840. But then I believe they had a son, John Collins Ince, born in Gibraltar in 1846. John turns up in England later on, and is in the army also, but I really would like to know what happens to William! His wife Jemima remarries in 1851 to a John Drummott. Did William die sometime between his son John being born in 1846 and his wife remarrying in 1851? I'd love to know!

"R A" means Royal Artillery, not Royal Army.

Jemima's 1851 marriage should show if she was widow when she remarried.
