Army Births & Baptisms

My great great grandmother was born in India during the period of the Raj. I notice the most likely entry for her and many others seems to be repeated sometimes at least twice.

Her entries read;
Place Year Regt. Vol. Page
Cavanagh, Mary A Trichinopoly 1845 105th 31 69

Cavanagh, Mary A Trichinopoly 1845 105th 31 10

Does anybody know why this is, and will I have to order two certificates to get the full picture?

This could be that the record was made and then sent to a central place and that both have been indexed on the same index.

You would need to speak to someone wise on Indian records to know if this is the case.

I wonder if the Military section may help?
I will move this over there for you.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed there was one.
