Hi Lorraine. You are welcome to the info.
I did forget to mention that, your ancestors regiment may have been under the agis of the East India Company. The Army formed by the EIC reverted to British command about 1880.

Possibly he may have returned to UK. As some of the Argyll's came to Australia with the second fleet of migrants & convicts. Many of these guards were pensioners & volunteered to migrate as guards & escorts, taking their families with them. A list of all the passengers of the immigrant fleets is available on the Australian Genealogy Society sight. There may also be book copies at your local library.

Have a good day. ......... Jimbo.
