Original documents (4) have him born St Luke's, Chelsea

He requested his own discharge in 1846. Was by all accounts an exemplary soldier who worked throuugh the ranks from Private to Sgt.

He was never abroad but not sure if that means he didn't go to Ireland.
Unfortinately nothing on record about his marital status or name of wife.

I was looking for a death for Eleanor and found this was possibly for Elizabeth. Fits in with him marrying Mary in 1863.

Where did you get the information from that led you to the marriage of William and Eleanor and the likely birth of William in Carlisle in 1840.
