From your other thread - I posted this so maybe this info should be here instead/ as well as the Irish thread.

Earlier in the census pages, on page 4, the officers are shown as 85th Light Infantry. They are at Fulwood Barracks, Preston, Lancashire. Is this is a different regiment though to 85th Bucks? :-\

Later the same year, he marries Margaret in Scarborough.
