Weird! There is no sign of him after 1851 on the census but no sign of his death either. If he left the army in 1854 then you would expect him to be around somewhere.

I have now managed to have a look at the records & they don't give much info. He was discharged from the army due to being unfit to serve

Can anyone read what this says happened in 1859 please?

Admitted as Inpensioner?

Just been revisiting this, as Ancestry has been free over the weekend. Having looked at George's records, I saw that he came from Market Rasen and I think I found his baptism, showing him as being a catholic, which possibly could have caused problems with the marriage? I did manage to find an Elizabeth from Wales with daughter Catherine c1838 living in Westminster in 1851 under the surname Brath, although it isn't clear that is the name, and she says that she is married. I still couldn't find her in 1861 though. I don't know if anyone else could?
I think I have found the same record on FMP listed as Brust, which could have been Brewster

If George were an inpensioner - ie a Chelea Pensioner - might this be his death:

BREWSTER, GEORGE 50
GRO Reference: 1861 M Quarter in ST. LUKE CHELSEA Volume 01A Page 134

Thanks Pheonix. That would make sense, perhaps they didn't live together for long and as he died, she just went back to her first married name. Just wish I could find her in 1861.

There are quite a few pieces missing from the 1861 census so she could have been in one of those.

Perhaps someone can correct me. If I have found the death of the right George Brewster, and he was a Chelsea Pensioner, I doubt that he would have been with a wife. If I am right, Elizabeth either died before 1859, or she had separated from George.
