I wonder if this is him in 1841 in Bombay:

"BOMBAY ...
Lieutenant Stuart, 14th Native Infantry, to act as Commissariat Agent at Rajcote, vice Williams, deceased."
Saturday,  Nov. 6, 1841
Publication: Morning Post

I saw that too. It’s so hard to know.

On family search I found an 1871 census of a 24 year old Charles B Stewart living in Inkpen, Berkshire with his grandfather John Butler. His occupation is Lieutenant H M Highlanders, born in Bellon, India. Marital status says unknown. Unfortunately there’s no picture of the census.

He is unmarried. Charles B STEWART 24  Lieutenant HM 78 Highlanders.

Thanks for looking into that. It’s hard to find anything on the son Charles Stuart. Before his marriage there’s nothing really anything. I believe he’s in the 1891 census as a school master but before that it’s slim. I wonder if he was born in India and not Middlesex.

It is difficult to find much or make head-way with this.
I am unsure if this is the same family, but I will post in case it provides any leads
 
From Gentlemans Magazine Jan 1847:
Marriage of Charles Brown STUART to Charlotte Agnes CLAY
16 July 1846 Allahabad
At Allahabad, Charles Brown Stuart, esq. 3rd Native Infantry, son of the late Col. James Lewis Stuart, Bengal Army, to Charlotte Agnes Clay, second daughter of Capt. Knightley Musgrave Clay, of Laches, in France.   


Same information with slightly different name for wife:
Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce (19 Aug 1846) gives the wife’s name as Charlotte Agnes Musgrave CLARY, daughter of Knightly Musgrave Clary Esq of Loches in France

Neale, I went down that route but do not think this is our man. This Charles Brown(E) Stuart was born 1822 Fort William,Calcutta, Bengal. Parents John Lewis Stuart and Gertrude Weston who married 1820. When Charlotte Agnes Musgrave Stuart nee' Clay died 17th February 1876 at sea (widow)her probate record records that her only next of kin is a Charles John Lewis Stuart. He was born 1854.

So the next search for me is to try and establish a link between a Charles B Stuart born c 1847 India the grandson of John Butler as per the 1871 census found, that in itself is a task and a half.
