British Library

Records available in the British Library India Office holdings include:

  • Madras Army Records IOR/L/MIL/11. Access to Archives catalogue entry which includes links to subgroups.
Please note that the Registers of Madras Army European Soldiers IOR/L/MIL/11/101-108 1786-1860 commenced in 1831 and only contain men still serving in the Army at that date. If a man left the Army prior to 1831 for any reason, including death, he will not appear in these records. The Muster records are an alternative source of information.
The LDS (Mormons) have filmed many of these records as listed in this LDS Library catalogue entry, after a keyword search for Madras Army Records

Other sources

The National Army Museum holds a card index detailing officer's services. This index is unpublished and not available elsewhere. See the NAM article for details.
