Where and when did they marry? I don't see the marriage at FreeBMD on a quick search.

You have him in earlier censuses and that's how you know his approx dob? I can only find one in 1861 born c1850, son of Frances (Francis) and Sabina.

If they married in Ireland, that would indeed be a good indication that he was in the military.

I am trying to find details of my greatgrandfather John Payton b. c1841 in Bury Lancashire. Married to Eliza Gibbins born in Cork Ireland. I have not been as yet been able to find any other record of him apart from Eliza in every census referring to herself as Married.
I have 3 thoughts but don't know how to prove it.
1... he had died but she still said that she was married
2... he was in prison
3... he was serving in the army.
If anyone has any ideas as to how I could proceed to find out where he was and hopefully take the records further back
Any help or hints much appreciated!
