*[http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/cardcatalog.aspx '''Ancestry''' Card Catalogue of all Record Databases] (located as an option under the Search tab). Select the Military filter on the left hand side of the page. Some datasets may unexpectedly provide information relating to India. A researcher, who found some relevant records, found the title of "Canada, British Regimental Registers of Service, 1756-1900", to be misleading, as they are actually records of enlistment and any subsequent notable events, based on WO 25 records for a selection of regiments. <ref> Email to User:Maureene 15-16 April 2016.</ref>. The databases Include "UK, British Army Lists, 1882-1962" (released 2016/10) consisting of a broken range of unspecified ''Lists'', but these are index records only. Also see comments under findmypast.
:Ancestry includes databases for Medal Rolls, see [[Medal Rolls]].
:Another database is "UK, Naval and Military Courts Martial Registers, 1806-1930", index records only with images on Fold3 under the title UK, Courts Martial Registers.
