Henry Gough - 77th Regiment of Foot
« on: Sunday 14 April 24 10:19 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone
Henry was born at Athenry, Galway in approx. 1833.
He was noted in the 1851 Wales Census to be part of the 77th Regiment of Foot and was a private.
British Army worldwide index 1851 has his service number 2425/1F 2504 (from Findmypast.co.uk and also Fold 3) and he was located in Newport Mon. Wales - Period 01/01/1851 - 31/03/185.

I can find no other records for him - can anyone let me know why he has 2 service record numbers? could this indicate he transferred to another regiment?
Also this short period of 3 months - did this relate to a stay in Newport and did the regiment then move on.
Thank you in advance
Cheers
Suzane
