Default Strange Baptisms

I'm trying to find a baptism for Thomas Rawstorne, my 4greats grandfather.

There is a baptism for someone of his name in Calcutta in 1806. If it is him, he also has an older brother, so possibly more family to find.

Thomas was baptised aged 11 years 2 months, son of the late Lieut Col Rawstorne (thanks Reverend, a name would have helped or even mentioning Mum?). William was 12 months older.

The interesting thing is that there were 24 children baptised that day. Of that 24, 20 were the children of the late Rank/Position Surname and most were older children ie 5 or older.

Off to push Jr on the swings then to search the burial registers in the hope the late Lieut Col Rawstorne was buried with his rank, and Christian name, written down.
