*The [[FamilySearch]] catalogue has the following entry: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/153708 Church of England in Iran. Anglican Chaplaincy (Julfa) Baptisms, 1875-1879 Marriages, 1877] Film 574493 Item 2. Currently (2020/07) it is advised the FamilySearch digitised microfilm is viewable, for non church members, at either a FamilySearch family history centre or a FamilySearch affiliate library, see [[FamilySearch Centres]], but at times in the past, the catalogue icon has advised microfilm viewing only. It appears that this microfilm is available at the [[Society of Genealogists]], London. Although it is indicated that the film has been indexed, it appears likely that it is other parts of the microfilm which have been indexed, and not item 2.

:The original records are now in the London Metropolitan Archives DL/E/E/056/MS11215A (previously in the Guildhall) and are records from the Mission Chapel, Julfa. The chapel appears to have been attached to the Church Missionary Society.
