The '''Chaplains Returns''' of baptisms, marriages and burials 1761-1880 .From 1880 they were known as “Army” Births, Deaths and Marriages and from 1959 “Forces” Births, Deaths and Marriages. These records include the registrations of British armed forces (including serving members who were not British nationals) posted overseas. There are also indexes in respect of the overseas registrations most commonly called the British Army Overseas Indexes.
These records were compiled by regimental chaplains and may also be duplicated within the regimental records. The Overseas Section of the [[General Register Office]] in Southport holds these volumes and the indexes can be viewed at the [[The National Archives]] (TNA).
