There are many items about George Augustus AYNGE in the newspapers over the years.

Insolvent in 1832 "policeman No. 60 of the K division" of 16 Paradise Row, Bethnal Green.

In 1836 he is Quarter Master Sergeant Spanish Dept, British Marine Artillery (can't quite read this one properly)

Many about his time in the police force in the Isle of Ely, he seems to have retired due to ill health in Nov 1851 after 9 years service.

In 1852 he is described as a Schoolmaster in Whittlesey, "formerly an officer on the staff of the British Ordnance corps and subsequently of the Spanish Legion Artillery" (he has a flute made from the arm bone of one of his legion!)

In Jan 1856 his sister Isabella is married and he is noted as "field train RA, camp before Sebastopol".

In Oct 1856 he returns to Whittlesey and there is an account of the "trophies" he has brought home from the Crimean war.

Happy to copy articles if you'd like them and don't have access.

I can't see anything about a divorce from the first marriage to Mary Juliana (Julia) nee JONES. She is definitely alive after his 2nd marriage to Mary Ann SCOTT (where he says he is a bachelor). 

Julia AYNGE:
1841 census in Clerkenwell:
