I notice a search of the 1881 British Census on the LDS site turns up just two George Stock entries with a birth date of 1848.  If you spread to two years either side the total number is about 19.  Perhaps by a process of elimination you can determine which is yours if any.  Once you know the name of his wife, if he was married in Ireland then there is likely to be a record at the GRO in Dublin.  In most cases the regiment occurs under 'occupation' in the registration though not always as definitive as one would like; e.g., Pte. 20th Rgt; Sgt. Devon Regt; Soldier; well, you see what I mean.
