Patchem, any other reason the military wouldn't allow a birth record for Clara? Or is it 19th C administration?

Is this him in 1851?

1851 England Census about George Mills
Name: George Mills
Age: 25
Estimated birth year: abt 1826
Relation: Soldier
Gender: M (Male)
Where born: Sunel, Suffolk, England [I can't work out the town but it certainly doesn't start with an 'S' . It is nothing like the one in Suffolk. This enumerator has funny curlicues on his capitals. His 'E' & 'J' look similar. It does look as if it ends in '...el'.]
Civil Parish: Heston
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England
Street address: Hounslow Barracks

Occupation: Private

Condition as to marriage: unmarried

Registration district: Brentford
Sub-registration district: Isleworth
ED, institution, or vessel: Hounslow Barracks

Looks like it might be the 16th (The Queen’s) Regiment of Light Dragoons (Lancers). Lieutenant Colonel Sir John Rowland Smyth is the senior officer on the census and that was the regiment he was with in 1851.

Between the 1820s and 1846 they were in India. On their return from India the 16th were garrisoned in Ireland. This would fit in with the elder son's birth. However it is all guesswork.

It would be worth getting Richard's marriage cert of 1888 to see if George is recorded as deceased on that.
