Sounds to me as if you've found him in the National Archives catalogue (WO 97 probably).
If so, have you not ordered his documents? Many people find that they give as much information as is needed but if you have any specific questions about the content of his papers, please shout and we'll try and answer.

It's mentioned on this thread
Anndot - if you use a search engine and enter '70th regiment foot' you'll get some hits that will tell you a bit about the regiment whilst you wait for his discharge document to arrive.

I am sure it was the 70th that my Great Grandfather served with. (Have to check this one).
He married in Ireland (Kildare) and my Grandfather was born there in 1861.
His other children were born in various places while Gr. Grandfather was still with the Army:
John Samuel, Clifton, Bristol, 1854, Frederick - Gibraltar 1857, Kate, Portsea 1859, Theodosia, Guildford 1863. He then retired to Rhyl in North Wales. So the 70th of Foot moved around a bit!
