hi, really really struggling on this,
JOHN POOLE very annoyingly common name!
found him in 1841, 51, (and i think? 71) - have marriage cert. just CANNOT find him in 1861. on his marriage cert (1864) his occupation is soldier, but surely he should still be listed...somewhere.

1841 age 4 living cardiston park, shropshire with parents THOMAS & EMMA
1851 age 14 lodger at a school at bromsgrove worcestershire ( he is called JNO ARTHUR POOLE)
1871 married to SARAH and stepson WILLIAM living in COLCHESTER, ESSEX down as being born NEWPORT, SHROPSHIRE.

Sarah Pudney
dob Mar 1840 Chelsmford 12 29
Age and birth county ties up with census details


William Pudney
dob Sep 1856 Colchester 4a 216
ties up with 1871 census details


John Poole & Sarah Pudney
Marriage
Mar 1864 Colchester 4a 291

Looks like William was Sarah's illegitimate son


John is a bricklayers labourer in 1871

Colchester St Botolph was an Infantry Barrack
Perhaps you may find him looking through the following pages on Ancestry

http://content.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=8767&path=Essex.Colchester+St+Botolph

It may be worth asking if anyone has a CD listing
