Hi Pat Australia, France, Bedford, makes no difference! If you do as Eve suggested and search the TNA catalogue online you may find him. Try http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp William Cox and wo97 and you will find a William Cox born Millmount Beds (never heard of this place so it may be an error for Milton) served 1803-1818 and was discharged age 49. This might be him as the age is fairly close to that of your William in 1851.

Your suggestions are fascinating. I went for the charity/ poor relief until I remembered his marrying quite late. I had originally thought there would be another earlier wife but now I'm considering the army. It would make sense but how to find out at this distance (Perth WA) is a bit of a challenge!
