The British Army, Worldwide Index 1841 has a William "Niclos" of the 44th which seems likely to be your man, mistranscribed. Number 1026.

Nice find. That didn't even come up using variations on his surname.

Thanks for that. That’s certainly somewhere to start! I’d never have found that entry.

Marriage of widow Charlotte Nicholls, 25, to Edward Foster at Cawnpore, 26 July 1842. Oddly shows father as William Nicholls.
