Yes, after 1800.
No, not an artist.

Kind of and kind of not. That doesn't help, I know.
Birth-wise he is not.

That must mean that he was born elsewhere but lived in Europe. Did he live in the UK?

He died in England. His father was English (but not completely associated with England either) and his mother was born in England (but the daughter of a Scotsman). However, he is not associated with England as such.

He attended school in England.

We've already established he was born after 1800.  He lived on and off in England but is more well known for other things in a different place. That was not the place he was born, by the way. He wasn't born in England but I'd say he probably classed himself as English.

It is. How did you guess that?
However, the place he was associated with was not India.

Don’t know, it was just a hunch. Was he a military officer?

He was a member of the Bengal Army of the British India Company. However, that is not why he was well known.
Not sure if that's giving the answer away or not... hmm. Also, he was not a novelist or a writer.
