Casualties also appeared in the London Gazette. Cannot find a Marigold listed.

Added - the Gazette does not include hospital deaths which the newspapers papers do.
Checking the newspaper reports the 11th Hussars sailed for the Crimea July/Aug 1854 from Ireland. By Nov 1854 reports appearing of casualties (killed/wounded/missing/prisoner) under rank/name. He doesn't appear in the list published 30 November.
Do you have access to newspapers. I cannot find him using the search facility so am checking the papers month by month - but it's a slow process.
No..don't have access to newspapers...but just wondering which ones in particular? English/Irish ones? Let me know and I will try and will continue to look.
Should add that a depot company continued at Newbridge, Ireland so no guarantee he was in the Crimea.
Attestation records for that period are rarer than hen's teeth. The "incidents" you refer to are his appearances in the censuses of those years. There are two more appearances in the records of courts martial, one in 1846 and another in 1847. These are in the National Archives document WO 86/5 and on the Fold3 element of Ancestry.Hello Max
The only sure way of tracking a man in that period is to trawl (at Kew) the regiment's muster rolls. This is a matter of using the known points of 1841 and 1851 and working backwards from the former until his first appearance in the roll and then going forward from 1851 until he leaves. This will give you his service dates but little else. The 1851 census says he is married, the 1841 does not have marital status. There is a Q1 1851 marriage in Ipswich which may fit (he was stationed in East Anglia).
GRO do not have any military information and what you have and the additional info above I suggest is all there is.
