The 47th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry were disbanded in 1824 after the Barrackpore Mutiny. Their name was apparently struck from the record. Four years later another regiment, later to become the 7th (Duke of Connaught's Own) Rajput Regiment of Bengal Infantry was given the title 47th Native Infantry, which it held between 1828 and 1861.
