Midshipman serving at Trafalgar
editThe article says: ...before entering the Royal Navy as a midshipman. He fought at Trafalgar in 1805...
The National Archives have a record of 2 people called John Molloy in their "Find your Trafalgar ancestor" database:
- John Molloy aged 22 born in Suttons Parish Ship: HMS Dreadnought Rank/Rating: Landsman
- John Molloy aged 22 born in County Carlow, Ireland Ship: HMS Colossus Rank/Rating: Landsman
Neither are described as a midshipman, neither are from County Kildare. Peter Clarke 11:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
