I'm trying to find out which regiment my ancestor was in but there seems to be conflicting information: India Records at British Library Catherine Molloy bapt 1873 Nowshera Station daughter of William and Jane Molloy Pte in HM 55 regt living in Campbellpore. John Molloy bapt 1875 Delhi son of William and Jane Molloy Pte in HM 55 regt Elizabeth Mulloy bapt 1880 daughter of William and Jane Molloy Pte in HM 59 regt Army Returns from Find My Past Catherine Molloy born 1873 Nowshera HM 30 regt Catherine Molloy born 1873 Campbellpore HM 55 regt John Molloy born 1875 Delhi HM 30 regt Elizabeth Molloy 1880 Dugshai HM 30 regt Wiki tells me that the 30 and 59 regt amalgamated in 1881 so am guessing that the army returns were updated with the new regiment number for Elizabeth, but I don't understand why both John and Catherine appear on the army returns under 30 regt when their baptism records state 55th regt. The only thing that I can think of is that William changed regiment. Is that possible? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
