In 1920, twelve Armoured Car Companies were set up as part of the Tank Corps, (later Royal Tank Corps), absorbing units from the Machine Gun Corps; eight were later converted into independent Light Tank Companies. All disbanded before the outbreak of the Second World War. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171223215457/http://www.royaltankregiment.com/en-GB/betweenthewars.aspx Royal Tank Regiment Association] ''Between the Wars'', now an archived webpage.</ref>

By 1936 most armoured cars in service in India had been replaced by light tanks and the cars were distributed to volunteer forces in India and neighbouring countries.<ref name=Roth> Rothwell, Steve [http://homepages.force9.net/rothwell/burmaweb/ArmdCarBAF.htm ''War Diary of Armoured Car Section, Rangoon Battalion, BAF''] Burma Campaign website.

On 18 October 1923 the Tank Corps was officially given the title Royal making it the Royal Tank Corps (RTC). On 4 April 1939, the Royal Tank Corps was renamed the Royal Tank Regiment and became a wing of the newly-created Royal Armoured Corps.<ref> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Tank_Regiment Royal Tank Regiment] Wikipedia</ref>

==Armoured Motor Batteries and Armoured Motor Brigades MGC 1915-1921==
In the operation from Shabkadar (North West Frontier) on 8 October 1915 "armoured cars were used for the first time in action in India and proved of great value".<ref>[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29652/supplement/6699 ''London Gazette Supplement'' 4 July 1916, page 6699]</ref>

"Armoured Motor Units began to form in Spring of 1915 utilising vehicles donated by rich Indians and Europeans. This was overseen by Colonel Lord Montagu (Inspector of Motor Vehicles, India and later Brigadier General, Advisor on Mechanical Transport Services, India). Only No 1 AMU had reliable vehicles - three Rolls Royces which, like the other cars were armour-plated by Indian Railway Workshops, and this unit acted as a Brigade HQ for Nos 1, 2 & 3 AMUs. Most of the other vehicles were unsuitable and it was not until 1918 that improved cars were made available.

The Units were re-designated Armoured Motor Batteries in 1917 and during this period, British and Indian crews were gradually replaced by MGC personnel. The British crews had originally been provided by Territorials from garrisons in India.
By 1919, Nos 2 & 3 Armoured Motor Brigades were formed from Nos 4 - 12 AMBs, whilst Nos 13 - 16 AMBs remained un-brigaded. At the commencement of the 3rd Afghan War, No 1 Armoured Motor Brigade was reorganised into five Regular and three Auxiliary AMBs which served in the Khyber and Chitral areas. HQ No 10 Armoured Motor Brigade, formed in the UK, commanded Nos 5, 6, 7 & 16 AMBs and operated in Waziristan and Mahsud".<ref name=Inva>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191219000718/https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/india-general-service-1908-35,-g.v.r.,-two-clasps-1-c-2ldcgbbbnu?afRedir=true ''Lot 460: India General Service 1908-35, G.V.R., two clasps, Waziristan 1919-21, Waziristan 1921-24 (7808665 Pte.

'''6th Armoured Motor Battery, MGC'''
 It was stated "The 6th Machine Gun Company, served in Waziristan 1919-1921 as No. 6 Armoured Motor Battery with the No. 3 Echelon of the Tochi Column in November 1919. This column under the command of Maj Gen A. Skeen, CMG, began the advance toward Datta Kehl on 12 Nov 1919. Later No. 6 Armoured Motor Battery served with No. 1 Section of the Tank Line of Communications Defences from Dera Ismail Khan, commanded by Brig Gen R B Worgan, DSO, which had an operational area from Darya Khan to Hathala and later to half way between Khirgi and Jandola".<ref>Flory, Dick [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/15362-india-general-service-medal/?do=findComment&comment=117067 India General Service Medal] ''Great War Forum'' 13 June 2004.

=== Crossley Armoured Cars===
After the First World War, the British Army in India had a requirement for Armoured Cars for areas such as the North West frontier. A delegation was despatched to Britain to see what was on offer and particularly to look at the offerings from Rolls-Royce as their wartime models had performed well. As well as being expensive they surprisingly were unable to get over the gradient test on the cross country trial. There was also at the trials a 1 1/2 ton Crossley based on the chassis that had been intended for a Russian contract that came to nothing because of the Revolution. This was the chassis that was under consideration as a medium truck for India and eventually became the IGL1. It sailed through the trials. An order for 32 followed with bodies by Vickers and these were designated IGA1 by Crossley. These were delivered in 1923 and a further order followed. Total deliveries were about 450. All of these vehicles were fitted with solid tyres presumably to remove the risk of punctures but these were never very successful when used off road as their narrow profile inevitably led to the vehicle sinking up to its axles.<ref>[http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/history/military.html Crossley Military Vehicles after WW1] crossley-motors.org.uk</ref>

Crossley armoured cars did not prove popular with their crews who found them underpowered and underbraked due to the weight of the armoured body. Brakes were fitted to the rear wheels only which made handling these cars on the mountainous roads of the North-West Frontier of India a tricky business.<ref>[http://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads/armoured-cars-tanks-other-vehicles-pith-helmets.26951/ Post 1] from WW2Talk "Armoured Cars, Tanks, Other Vehicles... & Pith Helmets" with images</ref>

In 1933 Crossley armoured cars had solid tyres to avoid punctures. This had made them very rough to ride in, and caused them to be very prone to turning over. These cars operated in Peshawar at this time in a campaign against the Red Shirts. Several of the cars were trapped in the streets by rioters, and at least one was burned out. A system was installed inside the cars that electrified the hulls so that rioters couldn't climb on top of the cars. There were a few 6 wheeled armoured cars with the same Crossley turret… Very few photos of these cars survive.

Although it is not certain in all cases, at this time following a precedent started in World War I, the names on tanks tend to denote the battalion, so any car name starting with C is likely to have been on a car in the 3rd Battalion, or third company of the Royal Tank Corps.

There were ... about 100 of these armoured cars. They rotated to the NWFP for about 6 months each in turn.<ref name=NBal/>.

Nurse

2026-05-16T02:39:25Z

Maureene: /* Online records */

==Civil Nursing==

General information on nursing in India can be found in the book ''A Brief History of Nursing in India and Pakistan'' by Alice Wilkinson (1958).[[Nurse#Notes|1]] Wilkinson was associated with nursing in India for more than forty years and in 1908 was the first trained British nurse to join St Stephens Hospital, [[Delhi]]. Alongside a history of the development of the profession from its earliest times, she describes nursing specialities, including leprosy and tuberculosis work.

''A History of Nursing in the British Empire'' by Sarah A. Southall Tooley (published 1906) has a section on India, pages 339-349.[[Nurse#Notes|2]] Interesting information in the book:
:*It is stated that the [[Calcutta]] Hospital Nurses Institution was founded in 1859 “with which is associated the Lady Canning Home, Calcutta, institutions doing valuable work today in supplying nurses to hospitals and in the training of skilled private staff."
:*Nurse training at the General Hospital, [[Madras]] and the Cama Hospital, [[Bombay]] was also mentioned. The latter is a hospital for women and children. It subsequently became affiliated with the Grant Medical College in 1923 and part of the Sir J.J. Hospital Group.
:*“The nursing of Europeans in India has been met to some extent in the large towns by the Clewer, Wantage and All Saints Sisterhoods and kindred private institutions." (Refer [[Nurse#Religious Orders|Religious Orders]] below).

===Training and Hospital Nursing===
This article [http://shm.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/18/3/357 abstract] refers to the training of midwives in Madras in a Government lying-in [obstetrics] hospital from the 1840's

For many years nursing training was the preserve of Europeans and [[Anglo Indian|Anglo-Indians]]. The Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy (JJ) Hospital ([[Bombay]]) was the first to train nurses in western India. The first Indian lady to come forward for nursing training was Bai Kashibai Ganpat in 1891 in Bombay, implying that European and Eurasians were training prior to this date. In the years that followed, nursing schools were established all over the country in collaboration with government, state and private hospitals. <ref> [http://archive.today/0RAYS ''Nursing in India'' by Shubhada Sakurikar]</ref>

St Stephens Hospital, Delhi started a training School for nurses under Alice Wilkinson — the first trained British nurse who joined the hospital in 1908. Wilkinson became the hospital's nursing superintendent and is credited with raising the standard of nursing not only in St Stephen's but in the rest of India as well. She founded the Trained Nurses’ Association of India and worked as its secretary until 1948. <ref> [http://www.ststephenshospital.org/about.php St Stephen's Hospital, Delhi] </ref>

===Associations===
The Association of Nursing Superintendents was founded in 1905 at [[Lucknow]]. The organization was composed of nine European nurses holding administrative posts in hospitals. At the 1908 Annual Conference held in Bombay, a decision was taken to establish the Trained Nurses’ Association. This Association was inaugurated in 1909. The Association of Nursing Superintendents and the Trained Nurses’ Association were amalgamated in 1922 and renamed The Trained Nurses’ Association of India (TNAI).

The Up-Country Nursing Association for Europeans In India, founded in 1892 in the UK, sent trained nurses to India for employment under local committees nursing sick Europeans in up-country districts. Lady Minto’s Nursing Association, established 1906 in the UK, sent nurses to India, its chief object being to supply trained female nurses and midwives to patients requiring attendance either in their private residences or in public or private hospitals in any part of the Indian Empire. The former organisation later amalgamated with the latter.

The Royal College of Nursing Archives (Edinburgh) (see [[Nurse#Other_Libraries_and_Archives|Other Libraries and Archives]]) holds the record "Lady Minto's Indian Nursing Association" (catalogue reference '''C/123'''). This ''British Journal of Nursing'' article gives [http://rcnarchive.rcn.org.uk/data/VOLUME074-1926/page118-volume74-june1926.pdf staff numbers in 1926]. Emma Wilson was working in India with the Lady Minto’s Indian Nursing Association from the 1920’s? until 1947. She was Chief Lady Superintendent from 1938 to 1947. Wilson wrote ''Gone With the Raj'', published 1974.[[Nurse#Notes|3]] 

The Medical Missionary Association of India was established in 1905. In 1925 there was a name change to the Christian Medical Association of India

===Journals===
The ''Nursing Journal of India'' (Nurs J India) began publishing in 1912. It would be expected there would be mention of many individual nurses in the Journals. The [[British Library]] has the ''Nursing Journal of India'' from December 1926 (with a few scattered editions prior to this) to February 1939 and Cambridge University Library has an incomplete holding from 1935 to 1989. The Royal College of Nursing Archives in Edinburgh (refer [[Nurse#Other Libraries and Archives|section]] below) believes they have early issues of this Journal (or they can obtain them) but they are not in the computerised catalogue at present.

Historical Nursing Journals is an online searchable database of PDF images showing British journal pages from the [https://www.rcn.org.uk/library Royal College of Nursing Library], then select Archives/Family history/Historical nursing journals or direct link [https://rcnarchive.rcn.org.uk Search] ''The Nursing Record'' / ''The British Journal of Nursing'' 1888-1956 image database. There are many mentions of India in these Journals. Examples include:
:* [http://rcnarchive.rcn.org.uk/data/VOLUME047-1911/page168-volume47-26thaugust1911.pdf "Nursing in Calcutta Hospitals"] (1911)

===Nurse Registration===
====England====
In England, legislation was passed in 1919 which became effective from 1921. [[The National Archives]] has Registers of Nurses from 1921 in the series '''DT 10'''. This [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATID=4906&CATLN=3&FullDetails=True link] gives some details about records originating from the General Nursing Council for England and Wales. It seems likely that some Indian trained nurses were also registered in England, as there is an associated series [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATID=4914&CATLN=3&accessmethod=5'''DT 18'''] General Nursing Council for England and Wales: Registrar: Correspondence and Papers, Overseas, which has the following catalogue entries:
*'''DT 18/72''' West Bengal; (India) general 1937 June 7-1948 July 28
*'''DT 18/76''' India Office, London 1924 Mar 25-1941 Dec 22
*'''DT 18/77''' Nursing Council (In Sub series Bengal) 1921 Jan 18-1947 Oct 18

*'''DT 18/146''' Presidency General Hospital, Calcutta 1923 July 11-1932 June 21

The British Library has a catalogue entry: Nurses: registration under the Nurses Registration Act 1919 of Nurses on the Register of the State Medical Faculty of Bengal [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorle_2-1&cid=1-1-3-641#1-1-3-641 '''IOR/L/E/7/1167, File 4082'''] 21 Aug 1923-13 Oct 1932. This [http://smfwb.in/history.html link] gives details of the State Medical Faculty of Bengal.

====India====
It appears that registration of nurses in India commenced on a Provincial basis, first in Madras in 1928 and in Burma from 1922. This RCN link is from [http://rcnarchive.rcn.org.uk/data/VOLUME081-1933/page286-volume81-october1933.pdf October 1933] and indicates that the UK and Madras had reciprocal registration.

The [[British Library]] has two registers of nurses and midwives in [[Madras]]:
*[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorv_9-2&cid=1-1-31-8#1-1-31-8 '''IOR/V/25/851/8'''] (1940)

It has the following catalogue entries which indicate some of the particular Acts:
*Medical: General questions - Bengal Nurses Act X of 1934 '''IOR/L/E/9/617''' Collection 100/12, Aug 1933-Oct 1934

*As to the registration of nurses and midwives in Madras: enactment of legislation '''IOR/L/E/7/1350''' File 2905, 12 Jul 1924-13 Sep 1935.

===Religious Orders===
*The [http://www.thamesweb.co.uk/windsor/windsor1999/csjb01.html Clewer Sisters] were Sisters from the Anglican Community of St John the Baptist from Clewer (near Windsor in England) who came to Calcutta in 1881. They were involved, at various times, with nursing at the Calcutta General Hospital, Medical College Hospital, and the Eden Hospital (a maternity hospital) and also with nurse training through the Calcutta Hospital Nurses Institution, which was based at the Lady Canning Home. Scroll to the end of this [http://anglicanhistory.org/england/ttcarter/life/05.html link] for brief details of their work in India.

==Military Nurses in India==
Female nursing was introduced in army hospitals in [[Madras]] in the late 1860’s, well before Calcutta. <ref> Page 73 ''Florence Nightingale and the Health of the Raj'' by Jharna Gourlay (2003) (page no longer available online)</ref>

The Indian Nursing Service for the [[British Army]] in India was founded in 1888, when Miss Catharine Loch and five sisters went to [[Rawalpindi]] and Miss Oxley and three sisters went to [[Bangalore]]. Nurses were recruited in England. (Brief details of the conditions.<ref>''Angels and Citizens: British Women as Military Nurses, 1854-1914'' by Anne Summers (1988), page 114, gives brief details of the conditions (page no longer available online)</ref>). The service became known as Queen Alexandra's Military Nursing Service for India in 1903, and in 1926 was amalgamated with Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service.
 The Nursing Service for Indian Troops Hospitals was formed in 1926 (Later renamed the Indian Military Nursing Service). This was a permanent nursing service. In the prior years from 1916 the Indian Government had employed many nurses on six months contract.<ref>royalredcross [Norman].

==== Arrival 1819 ====
After a voyage lasting from 9th February to 13th June 1819, the regiment arrived at [[Madras]]. On disembarkation it was marched into [[Fort St George]], where it remained until the 10th of July.

Marching for [[Arcot]] on that day, the future station of the 13th Light Dragoons was reached on July 19. We now arrive at a period of no less than twenty years' duration, when no call was made on the 13th to display its proved prowess in the field on active service. For it was not until March 1839 that any portion of the regiment was employed in forming a part of an Expeditionary Force. For all these long years of peace - inspections, reviews, the joining of remounts, the transfer of horses, and similar notices, are the only events which exist to be chronicled.

On July 30 1819, the regiment was inspected at [[Arcot]] by Major General Browne - and similar inspections took place on October 13 and 14. The [[21st Light Dragoons]] during September were presumably under orders to return to England, and from that regiment thirteen privates volunteered and joined the 13th.

During October, 389 men (including Cathy Day's ancestor, Private William Killmain) volunteered from the [[22nd Light Dragoons]] and joined the 13th Light Dragoons. On October 24th eighty remount horses joined. During October and November two very large drafts of horses were made over to the regiment from the [[22nd Light Dragoons]], amounting to 415 and 120 respectively.

==== Move to Bangalore ====
From the Army List we find that the [[21st Light Dragoons]] were disbanded at Chatham in May 1820. On February 1 1820, the 13th marched from Arcot for [[Bangalore]], at which station it arrived on February 19. During May, on the 3rd, 6th, and 13th, the regiment was inspected by Major-General Hare. A remount of 191 horses joined the 13th from Koongul on June 15. On July 4th a review of the regiment was held at Bangalore by Major-General Sir W. G. Keir. A draft of nine men from the depot in England joined on September 27. The regiment was inspected by Major-General Sewell at Bangalore on the 28th and 31st of October, and November 1. There is no entry until May 1821, when on the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 18th, an inspection was held by Lieut.-General Bowser.

On June 14th six men joined at [[Poonamallee]] from the depot in England. Inspections by Lieut.-General Bowser were held at [[Bangalore]] on October 24 1821 and May 9 1822. On July 31st seventy remount horses joined from Koongul. On September 23rd forty men joined the regiment from the depot in England. Inspections were held by Lieut-General Bowser on October 4 1822, and on May 15 1823. On June 19th twenty-two men joined from England, and on August 3rd forty-six remount horses were received from Koongul. Lieut.-General Bowser inspected the regiment on December 12 1823, and again on May 18 1824. For the next three years there is absolutely nothing to record. Men joined the regiment at intervals and in numbers varying from two to forty. Horses were received from Koongul as remounts, and some were transferred to the [[2nd Light Cavalry]], to the "Horse Brigade", and to the [[1st Light Cavalry]]. The inspecting officers were Major-General Jewell in May 1825, Major-General Sir T. Pritzler KCB, in December 1825 and in May 1826, while in December 1826, in May 1827, and again in December of that year, the inspecting officer was Major-General Sir John Doveton KCB. In all, 152 men joined the regiment from England, 159 horses were received from Koongul, and 105 horses were delivered over to regiments of native cavalry. On July 15, 1826, the 13th Light Dragoons marched from Bangalore to [[Arcot]]. Between January 1828 and April 1829 the history of the regiment may be summarised as follows:- 79 men joined the regiment from England, three having died on the voyage; 258 horses were transferred to native cavalry regiments, 90 were cast and sold, and 250 joined from Koornul and Oossoor, of which 90 were young horses.

Major-General Sir John Doveton KCB inspected the regiment on May 1 1828, and also on December 30th and 31st of that year. Owing to the cholera which prevailed in the cantonments (permanent regimental bases) at [[Arcot]], the regiment marched out and went into camp on February 15, 1828, and proceeded on March 3rd from that encampment to cantonments at [[Arnee]], where it arrived on the following day. Here the regiment remained for a year, when it returned to [[Bangalore]], arriving there on April 8. On May 27th the regiment was inspected at line duties by Major General Sir T. Pritzler KCB., and three days later dismounted by the same officer. Between August 4 1829 and December 31 1830, 166 men joined the regiment, all of whom came from England, except nine who volunteered from the [[47th Regiment of Foot]]. 47 remount horses joined from Oossoor. On December 30, 1829, the regiment was inspected by Colonel Armstrong commanding at Bangalore.

An inspection in marching order and ball-practice was held on January 14, 1830, and on the following day the regiment was reviewed by the same officer. On May 27 1830, and the two following days, Major-General Sir T. Pritzler KCB, held inspections of the regiment, dismounted and at riding drill, followed by a review. For four days in December the same officer held inspections and a review, dismounted, riding-school order, review and ball-practice in marching order. During 1831, 44 horses were cast and transferred to the Commissariat, and 100 artillery horses were received from Oossoor. 30 men joined from the depot in England. During May, Major-General T. Hawker inspected the regiment - dismounted, saddlery, accoutrements, barrack-rooms, and horse lines. He also held a review and on the following day examined the saddlery, cloaks, hospital, canteens, barracks, etc. In addition to these inspections, His Excellency Lieut-General Sir George Walker GCB KCI, Commander-in-Chief of the Madras Army, reviewed the regiment on September 13, and early in October held an inspection of the barracks, school, canteen, stores, etc., and the regiment dismounted.

==== The Mutiny at Bangalore ====
'''''See also [[Bangalore Mutiny]]'''''

In the month of October 1832 the existence of a plot to mutiny and murder all the European officers and soldiers in [[Bangalore]] was discovered. The destruction of the 13th Light Dragoons formed part of the conspiracy. The mutiny was timed to break out at midnight on the 28th of October. Up to the morning of that day no suspicion even was entertained by either European officers, soldiers, or officials.

The mutineers were Muslims, and if the outbreak at [[Bangalore]] had proved successful, it was to be followed by similar outbreaks at [[Bellary]], [[Jaulna]], [[Hyderabad]] and [[Nagpore]]. Doubtless, too, it would have spread far and wide.

To Major Inglis, commanding the [[48th Regiment of Madras Native Infantry ]], however, on the morning of October 28th came [[Jemadar]] Emaun Khan, a native officer of his regiment, and to the astonishment of his commanding officer revealed the whole plot. Prompt measures were at once taken, the European regiments then at [[Bangalore]], the [[62nd Regiment of Foot]] and the 13th Light Dragoons, were immediately warned. Parties were sent out, and all those named by the Jemadar were immediately arrested. The ringleader was a certain Hyder Ali Khan, who liked to be styled the "Nawaub", and who lived in the Pettah (walled part of a city) of Bangalore. With him were associated Syfut Ali Shah, a fakir who pretended to be an alchemist, and who promised those who joined the conspirators pecuniary rewards in this world and rewards of another, but equally satisfactory, nature in the next. A Muslim butter-merchant was also deeply implicated.

Had, however, the sedition been confined to these civilian natives, it would not have been particularly formidable, but unfortunately several [[havildar]]s (the highest rank of non-commissioned officer among native troops in India and Ceylon) and [[sepoy]]s of the native horse artillery, and certain regiments of native infantry and cavalry, had been seduced from their allegiance, and, what is more, would probably have received a certain amount of support from their comrades when once the trouble had begun.

A court of inquiry was held on Tuesday October 30 and continued its sittings till Sunday November 4.

The story of this plot is as follows: For some little time Hyder Ali Khan, the "Nawaub" as he pleased to call himself, had lived in the Pettah at [[Bangalore]]. He appeared to be well supplied with money, and exercised not a little hospitality; his main endeavour being at first to attract to his house as many sepoys and native officers of the Company's service as he could, particularly those of the Native Horse Artillery. He had also entered into communication with, and enlisted in his design, a goodly number of disbanded troopers and discharged sepoys who had formerly been in the service of the Rajah of [[Mysore]]. Some two or three hundred Pindarees, too, were prepared to join when the signal of revolt was given. It happened, too, that certain details of light cavalry had left Bangalore for Mysore on the 25th under the command of a [[Subadar-Major]]. Arrangements had been made to intercept this force, and with the aid of certain mutineers who belonged to it, to murder the officers if true to their salt, and then to return and join their comrades at Bangalore. If the subadar chose to throw in his lot with the mutineers, all the better. The [[Mughal_Empire#Vakil|Vakeel]] of the [[Coorg]] Rajah also had promised 12,000 horse and 7000 foot soldiers to be at Bangalore by daybreak on the 29th, provided he received news that the mutiny had really taken place.

By means of a clever ruse, a [[havildar]] favourable to the conspiracy had been appointed on the Mysore gate at [[Bangalore]] for that night, and his task was to open it and admit the mutineers. How this appointment was managed is worth relating. It appears that his brother, also a mutineer, met the havildar major coming out of the Adjutant's quarters. To the havildar major he presented a couple of silk handkerchiefs which had been provided for the purpose by the "Nawaub". The handkerchiefs were accepted and the traitor then proceeded to ask a favour. "As my child's ear is diseased," said he, "and the doctors tell me that the blood of swallows is good for it, if you will put my brother on the Mysore gate he will be able to get some for me." The petition was granted, and Shaik Ismael, havildar in the 9th Native Infantry, was duly posted on the gate. The mutineers divided themselves into three groups. The first was to be admitted through the Mysore gate, where the arsenal and magazine were to be seized and arms distributed, the European guard having been killed. Next the European Main guard was to share the same fate, after which the garden of the general commanding the district (Major-General Hawker) was to be surrounded, and that officer murdered. A gun was then to be fired from the ramparts, and a green flag displayed. This gun was to be a signal for the other two parties of mutineers to get to their allotted work, and to warn the Native Horse Artillery as well that their time for action had arrived.

Now at [[Bangalore]] there was a detachment of European artillery, and the European gunners were to be butchered. Then the guns, with their draught bullocks, were to be carried off, and together with those of the Native Horse Artillery, were to be trained on the barracks of the 62nd Regiment and of the 13th Light Dragoons. Immediately the head and foot ropes of the dragoons' horses were to be cut, and the animals mounted by the Pindarees. Then the guns were to open fire on the barracks of the 13th Light Dragoons and [[62nd Regiment of Foot]].

A third party of mutineers was to take the barracks in the rear. It was calculated that if grape-shot (hundreds of lead balls, or 'shot' linked together in chains and fired from a cannon) was well plied into the barracks there would be little chance of the Europeans escaping, roused as they were in the dead of the night. The officers in general, who lived in bungalows apart and in a rather scattered way, were destined to be shot or cut down as they rushed from their dwellings.

The plot had many elements of success in its conception, and even assuming that in the long run the mutiny had been suppressed, it is certain that a great deal of bloodshed would have occurred. The "Nawaub" proposed to install himself as King of [[Bangalore]], with one Seyd Tippoo, a prominent mutineer, as his Prime Minister. Twenty-three native soldiers were brought before the Court of Inquiry, and some forty scamps from the bazaar. A [[court-martial]] was held later, which began its sittings on December 19. Four of the accused were sentenced to be blown from guns (i.e., strapped to a cannon, which is then fired), and some others to be shot. Several more were sentenced to death, but the sentences were commuted to transportation for life. The executions duly took place at [[Bangalore]], in presence of the garrison, on December 24. Rewards were given to the loyal native officers and sepoys who gave information. Several did so, but a few hours later than the time the [[Jemadar]] of the 48th came to Major Inglis. A searching investigation was made to find out the full extent of this conspiracy, but not much came to light. In the house of one of the rebels, a certain Abbas Ali, and in his own handwriting, was found a draft proclamation and a part of a fair copy thereof; but all other documents had been destroyed. The whole affair is remarkable in a way. There was no grievance of any kind among the native sepoys. Some of those condemned had even been years in the service. One had nineteen years service and several had had fathers and other relatives who had died in battle honourably.

Rewards were given to all who had given information, promotion in all cases, and sometimes in addition a pecuniary grant of 500 Rupees. Forewarned, it was easy to nip this mutiny in the bud.

==== 1832-39 ====
During 1832 twenty-four men joined from England, 38 horses were cast and delivered to the Commissariat, and 73 remount horses were received from Oossoor. The regiment was inspected by Major-General Hawker on May 2; reviewed on December 3, and the saddlery, cloaks, arms, etc., inspected on the following day; the canteen, school, and hospital were inspected on December 5; in marching order, at carbine and pistol practice, on December 6; the horses proposed to be cast and the remounts on December 7; and the riding-school on December 8. Besides this, His Excellency Lieut-General Sir R. W. O'Callaghan KCB, reviewed the regiment on September 7, and a week later inspected the riding-school, young horses, barracks, horse lines, etc.

During 1833 seventeen men joined from England, 92 horses were cast and transferred to the Commissariat, and 77 remount horses joined from Oossoor. Reviews and inspections were held by Major-General Hawker in May and December.

For 1834, similar reviews and inspections were held by Major General Hawker in May and December, 46 horses were cast and transferred to the Commissariat, 65 being received from the remount depot at Oossoor. During April, the regiment moved into camp on account of an epidemic disease which broke out among the horses, but was enabled to return to barracks on the 6th of May.

During 1835, 69 men joined from the depot in England, fourteen invalids were sent home. 115 remount horses were received, of which seven were Australian horses. These were known as "Walers". Twenty of the horses came from Oossoor, and 88 from the Bengal stud. 38 horses were cast and transferred to the Commissariat, and 107 transferred to native cavalry regiments. The term "recruits" occurs this year for the first time. The usual inspections by Major-General Hawker took place in May, and from November 26th to December 7th. On July 23rd, Major Sir J. Gordon, Bart., 13th Light Dragoons, died at Madras.

The events of 1836 were as follows : 30 recruits landed at Madras for the regiment; 13 invalids were sent to England, 43 remount horses joined and 24 were cast and transferred to the Commissariat.

During 1837, that the time of the regiment in India was drawing to a close is now apparent. Only one man joined the regiment- a volunteer from the [[63rd Regiment of Foot]]. Sixteen invalids were embarked for England, seven men were discharged to reside in India. 72 horses were received from the remount depot at Oossoor, and 52 were cast and delivered to the Commissariat.

For 1838 the events are scanty. One man joined the regiment, being transferred from the 39th Foot. Eight men were discharged, mostly to reside in India and draw pension there. One was discharged by purchase, and another as he had been sentenced to seven years' transportation. Eighteen invalids were embarked for England. 49 remount horses were received from Oossoor and 45 were cast, six being shot for vice, and 41 transferred to the Commissariat.

The first two months of 1839 were uneventful. In January and February 26 invalids were embarked for England, and 51 horses were cast and delivered to the Commissariat. On April 1st twelve men were discharged on pension to reside in India.

Meanwhile, complications with one of the native rulers had arisen, and trouble was brewing. On March 7, therefore, two squadrons of the regiment under were ordered to [[Bellary]]

==== Affairs at Kurnool & Zorapoor ====
'''''See also [[Affairs at Kurnool & Zorapoor]]'''''

The 13th Light Dragoons, however, were not destined to leave India without employment on active service in the field. The story of the brief campaign of 1839 is as follows. A fanatical spirit was abroad among the Muslim chiefs and the people of India which appears to have originated in Scinde, whence emissaries were sent to induce the chiefs to engage in a holy war against the British raj. Among the chiefs implicated was the Nawab of [[Kurnool]] - a potentate of some power and not a little wealth. By treaty he was precluded from storing and collecting war materiel, but nevertheless he had amassed a huge quantity of guns, muskets, shot, shell, bullets, swords, matchlocks, English double-barrelled guns and pistols, salt petre, sulphur, copper, lead, reams of cartridge paper, and about 600,000 lbs of gunpowder. These warlike stores were cunningly concealed, some within the zenana (women's quarters) at Kurnool, and hundreds of cannon were ranged in the courtyards hidden by grass which had been allowed to grow over them. The Nawab was called upon for an explanation and refused to offer one. The Government therefore moved up a force towards Kurnool.

On August 13th, the [[34th Regiment of Madras Native Infantry |34th Madras Light Infantry]] left [[Bangalore]], to join the 13th Light Dragoons and other troops. The total force amounted to about 6,000 men. On September 24th the force reached Kopatoal, thirty or forty miles from [[Kurnool]]. Here the Sappers were left to prepare materials for a siege, as it was anticipated that strong resistance would be offered by the Nawab. A company of the [[29th Regiment of Madras Native Infantry]], and one of the 16th, also remained, while the main force encamped about six miles to the front. So matters rested for a fortnight, when the Sappers were ordered to the front and encamped two miles in advance of the main force. The main camp was on the right bank of the river, while the artillery, engineers, and ordnance stores were on the left. On October 10, the Sappers, a Squadron of 13th Light Dragoons and other troops moved off. Meanwhile another group of native and a small body of Sappers had taken possession of the fort of Kurnool without resistance a few days before.

The force with the 13th Light Dragoons reached [[Kurnool]] on October 12, encamping about two miles off. For six days the troops were employed in searching for the Nawab's concealed guns and stores - only seven or eight being found mounted on the walls. Among the guns was found forty or fifty light field-pieces with carriages complete and ready for the field - mostly two-pounders or six-pounders. A "Malabar" gun, ten feet long, mounted on a carriage with 10 ft wheels, and a 24 ft trail, was discovered behind a wall, but commanding the main street from the gate. It had a 12 inch bore and carried a shot weighing two hundred and forty pounds. Three or four hundred guns were found in the grass in the courtyard, and in another place guns, mortars, and howitzers in large numbers. A huge amount of treasure was also seized. Most of the shells were made of pewter, and some were of most fanciful design. The fact was that the British force had arrived six months too soon, and the Nawab's force did not amount to more than 1,000 men. While his stores were being disclosed the Nawab remained in an enclosure near the tomb of his father to which he had retired. The fort technically was still his own, and he was permitted to send things in and out - and some treasure was no doubt removed.

On October 17th the British Commander, Colonel Dyce, received instructions how to act. Two days previously a party of six or seven officers had penetrated into the enclosure unarmed, and had had an interview with the Nawab. It was a risky thing to do, as his followers crowded the place, and all were fine tall men and armed to the teeth. It is recorded that this party of officers, save one who belonged to the 13th Light Dragoons, were all small men. The interview, however, though by no means friendly, passed off without violence, and the party withdrew, having, however, refused the proffered presents of fruit - presents, though, which their syces took possession of and carried away on their heads. On October 18th arrangements were made to surround the Nawab and his following, and to arrest him. The troops took up a position between the Nawab's enclosure and the village of Zorapore. Captain Pears and Lieutenant Ouchterlony of the Sappers galloped over to Zorapore, where they found Colonel Dyce holding a parley with some of the leaders of the Nawab's following. The terms offered them were to hand over the Nawab, receiving all arrears of pay and a safe-conduct with their arms to their own country. Some time was occupied in pretended discussion, pretended at least on the native side, in which a Persian Munshi took considerable part. But Wullee Khan, the Vizier, would not come to terms, nay, more, was insolent. He came out clad in armour and bristling with weapons, a huge broadsword being specially noticeable. Wullee Khan was a huge fellow, beside whom Colonel Dyce, a man of six foot six in height, did not look tall.

Meanwhile the Pathans, of which there were not a few among the troops of the Nawab, disliking the appearance of the guns, cleared out of the enclosure and threw themselves out in front of the British left. For four hours the force remained quiet, and Colonel Dyce then ordered the buglers to sound " fire." The Nawab with thirty or forty men took refuge in the Durgah, but the rest moved out of the enclosure in the front of the British, some meaning fight, others flight across the river. For ten minutes Rohillas and Pathans kept up a hot fire, and worked round on the British flank. Captain Pears was sent to bring up some of the 13th Light Dragoons, but on arrival at the river he found that they were fully occupied in endeavouring to prevent the enemy, here numbering some hundreds, from getting round them by means of the river. The enemy would enter the stream, and being out of reach would endeavour to pass up or down, above or below, where the dragoons were posted, and thus escape. The 13th had therefore to keep on the move to prevent it. A body of the 34th Native Infantry were then despatched there, and they shot down numbers both in the river and on sundry sandbanks. The artillery now ceased to fire, and the 39th British - with the 34th Native Infantry advanced. Against them rushed out Wullee Khan, his brother, and three other Rohillas, sword in hand. These five brave fellows were at once bayonetted. The Durgah was now entered, and there the verandah was found full of the enemy. As the intention was to take the Nawab alive, to effect it Captain Pears rushed in, but Major Armstrong of the 34th Native Infantry was already before him and was dragging his captive out, to whom three natives clung, and a soldier of the 39th British. It seems that the soldier believed the Nawab had killed a Lieutenant White of the 39th a few minutes before, and was vowing vengeance. As a matter of fact it was an Arab, Shaik Said, who killed Lieutenant White. An officer of the 34th, Lieutenant Yates, was killed in the scuffle, and Colonel Wright was stabbed by a desperate man who rushed out at him. Lieutenant Ouchterlony was thrice wounded when helping a sepoy against a Rohilla, one cut being a very severe one in the left elbowjoint. He did not, however, quit the field, and even accompanied the 13th halfway across the river when they forded it in pursuit of the fugitives.

About 25,000 rupees, some jewellery, 85 horses, and 22 elephants, were found in the Durgah. The British force consisted of 350 to 400 native infantry, 80 of the 39th Regiment, 150 of the 13th Light Dragoons, 150 native cavalry, and the guns. Two British officers were killed, two wounded; five or six men of the 39th fell, and a few were wounded; one of the native infantry killed, and twelve or fourteen wounded. The enemy numbered 900 men, but had no artillery. Two hundred prisoners were taken, and fully one hundred and fifty killed. One private of the 13th was drowned while crossing the river, but there were no other casualties in the action. The two squadrons of the 13th returned to [[Bangalore]] on November 28, but not without serious loss, for cholera on the march claimed no less than thirty-two men. Of the horses, six were lost. The thanks of the Government for the services of the regiment on this service appeared in general orders.

==== Return to England ====
The 13th Light Dragoons had now been serving in India for upwards of twenty years. It was now under orders for England. Early in 1840 the regiment marched from [[Bangalore]] for Madras, and on the way lost by cholera forty men as well as many women and children. On arrival in Madras the 13th was received by Major General Sir R. Dick KCB KCH, and on the next day transferred its horses to the 15th Hussars. Such non-commissioned officers and privates as volunteered to remain in India being permitted to transfer their services to other corps. Major-General Sir R. Dick on the morning of January 29 1840, after the review, wrote in the highest possible terms of the regiment. He expressed his high appreciation of everything he had that day witnessed. He praised the appearance and steadiness of the men and the condition of the horses. The movements executed were performed with precision and celerity, "notwithstanding the heavy sandy ground", and the horses were well in hand. He greatly regretted that the services of so efficient a regiment would be so soon lost to the Indian Army. Finally, he trusted that Lieut-Colonel Brunton, the officers, and men, would have a safe passage to England.

The general order was even more highly complimentary. Beginning in more general terms, it concludes as follows: ''"The Major-General is enabled to bear testimony [as well as from the Reports of his Predecessors] to the uniform correctness of its conduct, and throughout the course of its lengthened Service in Mysore, he believes it may safely be asserted that not an instance has occurred of a complaint or appeal being preferred against an Officer, Non-Commissioned Officer or Private of this Distinguished Corps to the Civil Authorities. In taking leave therefore [for a time he hopes only] of the 13th Light Dragoons, the Major-General begs Lt-Colonel Brunton will accept himself and convey to the Officers and Soldiers under his Orders the assurance of the Esteem the Major-General feels for, and the warm interest he shall ever take in the prospects and fair fame of the Regiment, and it will constitute a pleasing part of his Duty to make the General Commanding-in-Chief of His Majesty's Army, acquainted with the sentiments he has thus felt to be due to the Corps, to Express of its character and merits, and one in no wise diminished by a Twenty Years' absence from its Native Land."''

The 13th Light Dragoons embarked at [[Madras]] in February 1840, and landed at Gravesend in the following June. The regiment had been absent from England for a space of twenty-one years and three months. During its service in India, of the officers fifteen died, of the non-commissioned officers and men one thousand and fifty-one. Of the officers of the regiment only five remained of those who had sailed from England more than twenty years before.

Information relating to '''French''' ancestry in India, and also to the British in France.

==Principal locations==
The major French possessions in India were:
*[[Pondicherry]] (Pondichéry)
*[[Chandernagar]] (Chandernagor)
*[[Karikal]]
*[[Mahé]]
*[[Yanaon]]

== Brief history of the French in India==
The '''French East India Company''' was formed in 1664, but it was so closely tied with the state that its fortunes rose and fell with the careers of ministers and turns of politics. It was not until after 1720 that its fortunes revived rapidly. Until this time, the the French stake in India was not great enough to warrant the English fighting over it, so the two companies declared neutrality. However, between 1720 and 1740, the French Company's trade increased to ten times its value until it was nearly half the size of the English Company. The French Company now presented an economic threat to the English Company.

This threat was exacerbated by two wholly European wars : the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years War (1756-1763), in which England and France were on opposite sides. The two Companies, backed by their respective states, went to war in India. The ensuing conflicts were known as the [[Carnatic Wars]]. In 1746 the French captured [[Madras (City)|Madras]] but the British exchanged this for Cape Breton Island in North America in 1748. The French and English then fought over Indian territory, aiding rival princes and governors, until the French were soundly defeated in 1760. Pondicherry fell and the power of the French in India was effectively ended, although a brief resurgence occurred in 1782 under Admiral de Suffren. The French colonies in India remained separate from British India until Independence came in 1947 and the French voluntarily ceded its former colonies to the new Indian state.<ref>''A History of India'' (Volume Two) (1978) by Percival Spear p.68, p.77 </ref>

Some Frenchmen served in the Armies of the rulers of the [[Princely States]]. For example, M. Maistre De la Tour, was the French commandant of Hyder Ali’s artillery which had "un Corps de Troupes Européennes". Refer [[French#External links|Historical books online]] below.

==Records==
General articles:
*[[Birth, marriage and death records]]
*[[Non-British Ancestors]]

=== Church records ===
If your ancestors were baptised, married or buried in a European church in [[British India]], then the church records should have been transcribed and sent to the capital of the Presidency, where they would later have been forwarded on to London. See [[Birth, marriage and death records]] for further information. However, your French ancestors may not have lived in British India. In this case, the church records will not be kept at the [[British Library]].

Information relating to '''French''' ancestry in India, and also to the British in France.

==Principal locations==
The major French possessions in India were:
*[[Pondicherry]] (Pondichéry)
*[[Chandernagar]] (Chandernagor)
*[[Karikal]]
*[[Mahé]]
*[[Yanaon]]

== Brief history of the French in India==
The '''French East India Company''' was formed in 1664, but it was so closely tied with the state that its fortunes rose and fell with the careers of ministers and turns of politics. It was not until after 1720 that its fortunes revived rapidly. Until this time, the the French stake in India was not great enough to warrant the English fighting over it, so the two companies declared neutrality. However, between 1720 and 1740, the French Company's trade increased to ten times its value until it was nearly half the size of the English Company. The French Company now presented an economic threat to the English Company.

This threat was exacerbated by two wholly European wars : the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years War (1756-1763), in which England and France were on opposite sides. The two Companies, backed by their respective states, went to war in India. The ensuing conflicts were known as the [[Carnatic Wars]]. In 1746 the French captured [[Madras (City)|Madras]] but the British exchanged this for Cape Breton Island in North America in 1748. The French and English then fought over Indian territory, aiding rival princes and governors, until the French were soundly defeated in 1760. Pondicherry fell and the power of the French in India was effectively ended, although a brief resurgence occurred in 1782 under Admiral de Suffren. The French colonies in India remained separate from British India until Independence came in 1947 and the French voluntarily ceded its former colonies to the new Indian state.<ref>''A History of India'' (Volume Two) (1978) by Percival Spear p.68, p.77 </ref>

Some Frenchmen served in the Armies of the rulers of the [[Princely States]]. For example, M. Maistre De la Tour, was the French commandant of Hyder Ali’s artillery which had "un Corps de Troupes Européennes". Refer [[French#External links|Historical books online]] below.

Other examples of a French background in India are a French Huguenot who worked for the King of Oudh <ref>Breen, Moira.

==Records==
General articles:
*[[Birth, marriage and death records]]
*[[Non-British Ancestors]]

=== Church records ===
If your ancestors were baptised, married or buried in a European church in [[British India]], then the church records should have been transcribed and sent to the capital of the Presidency, where they would later have been forwarded on to London. See [[Birth, marriage and death records]] for further information. However, your French ancestors may not have lived in British India. In this case, the church records will not be kept at the [[British Library]].

Births, marriages and deaths in Pondichéry from 1676 to 1784. ''Résumé des Actes de l'État Civil de Pondichéry''. Published by the Société de l'Histoire de l'Inde Française (Pondichéry) 1917-1937

==Archives==
===ANOM, previously CAOM===
The Pondicherry archives are in the "Archives Nationales d'Outre-Mer (ANOM)" previously known as the "Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer" (CAOM), in the city of Aix en Provence, France.

Records for Île Bourbon (Réunion), [Reunion Island] and Île de France (Île Maurice), [Mauritius], islands which have links with India, are included in those available at ANOM.

The website previously had a limited number of pages in English, which however no longer seems to be included. The current website seems to have had major changes, and the writer of this section found some aspects of the new website somewhat difficult to navigate.

In addition to the five Districts, mentioned above, it is/was previously advised there were eight subsidiary trading stations (factories), at [[Balasore| Balassore]], [[Cossimbazar|Kassimbazar]], Yougdia, or Jougdia now on the seabed near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwip Sandwip], [[Dacca]], [[Patna]], [[Masulipatam|Masulipatnam]], [[Calicut]], [[Surat|Surate]] and Iskitipitch, otherwise called the îles Iskitippah, or the Iskitippah Islands, (although only sandbanks<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100707032416/http://www.claudearpi.net/maintenance/uploaded_pics/Interets_Britanniques.pdf "Pondicherry: The last months before India’s Independence: Perspectives of a British Consul General"] by Claude Arpi August 15, 2005, claudearpi.net, now an archived webpage</ref>) probably located in the vicinity of [[Yanaon]].

"Men of the 2nd Garrison Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers served in Mesopotamia from March 1917 until 1919. Whether this was the whole battalion, or elements of it, is not clear but the Battalion lost 179 men during the First World War and the majority died from sickness in Mesopotamia… It seems certain that all or part of the 2nd Garrison Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers arrived in Basra in late February or early March 1917. The deaths in Mesopotamia appeared to be from sickness including one from smallpox… The Garrison Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers appears to have remained in Mesopotamia until the winter of 1918/1919 as the last recorded death there was on January 4th 1919 at Amara. Amara was further North than Basra and was the headquarters from where the 13th Division started demobilisation in February 1919. The final death in the 2nd Garrison Battalion was recorded in India on March 21 1919. The 2nd Garrison Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers returned to England and was disbanded on January 8th 1920."<ref>Greveson, Alan.

Information relating to '''French''' ancestry in India, and also to the British in France.

The major French possessions in India were:
*[[Pondicherry]] (Pondichéry)
*[[Chandernagar]] (Chandernagor)
*[[Karikal]]
*[[Mahé]]
*[[Yanaon]]

== Brief history of the French in India==
The '''French East India Company''' was formed in 1664, but it was so closely tied with the state that its fortunes rose and fell with the careers of ministers and turns of politics. It was not until after 1720 that its fortunes revived rapidly. Until this time, the the French stake in India was not great enough to warrant the English fighting over it, so the two companies declared neutrality. However, between 1720 and 1740, the French Company's trade increased to ten times its value until it was nearly half the size of the English Company. The French Company now presented an economic threat to the English Company.

This threat was exacerbated by two wholly European wars : the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years War (1756-1763), in which England and France were on opposite sides. The two Companies, backed by their respective states, went to war in India. The ensuing conflicts were known as the [[Carnatic Wars]]. In 1746 the French captured [[Madras (City)|Madras]] but the British exchanged this for Cape Breton Island in North America in 1748. The French and English then fought over Indian territory, aiding rival princes and governors, until the French were soundly defeated in 1760. Pondicherry fell and the power of the French in India was effectively ended, although a brief resurgence occurred in 1782 under Admiral de Suffren. The French colonies in India remained separate from British India until Independence came in 1947 and the French voluntarily ceded its former colonies to the new Indian state.<ref>''A History of India'' (Volume Two) (1978) by Percival Spear p.68, p.77 </ref>

Some Frenchmen served in the Armies of the rulers of the [[Princely States]]. For example, M. Maistre De la Tour, was the French commandant of Hyder Ali’s artillery which had "un Corps de Troupes Européennes". Refer [[French#External links|Historical books online]] below.

=== Church records ===
If your ancestors were baptised, married or buried in a European church in [[British India]], then the church records should have been transcribed and sent to the capital of the Presidency, where they would later have been forwarded on to London. See [[Birth, marriage and death records]] for further information. However, your French ancestors may not have lived in British India. In this case, the church records will not be kept at the [[British Library]].

===ANOM, previously CAOM===
The Pondicherry archives are in the "Archives Nationales d'Outre-Mer (ANOM)" previously known as the "Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer" (CAOM), in the city of Aix en Provence, France.

Records for Île Bourbon (Réunion), [Reunion Island] and Île de France (Île Maurice), [Mauritius], islands which have links with India, are included in those available at ANOM.

The website previously had a limited number of pages in English, which however no longer seems to be included. The current website seems to have had major changes, and the writer of this section found some aspects of the new website somewhat difficult to navigate.

Information relating to '''French''' ancestry in India, and also to the British in France.

==Principal locations==
The major French possessions in India were:
*[[Pondicherry]] (Pondichéry)
*[[Chandernagar]] (Chandernagor)
*[[Karikal]]
*[[Mahé]]
*[[Yanaon]]

== Brief history of the French in India==
The '''French East India Company''' was formed in 1664, but it was so closely tied with the state that its fortunes rose and fell with the careers of ministers and turns of politics. It was not until after 1720 that its fortunes revived rapidly. Until this time, the the French stake in India was not great enough to warrant the English fighting over it, so the two companies declared neutrality. However, between 1720 and 1740, the French Company's trade increased to ten times its value until it was nearly half the size of the English Company. The French Company now presented an economic threat to the English Company.

This threat was exacerbated by two wholly European wars : the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years War (1756-1763), in which England and France were on opposite sides. The two Companies, backed by their respective states, went to war in India. The ensuing conflicts were known as the [[Carnatic Wars]]. In 1746 the French captured [[Madras (City)|Madras]] but the British exchanged this for Cape Breton Island in North America in 1748. The French and English then fought over Indian territory, aiding rival princes and governors, until the French were soundly defeated in 1760. Pondicherry fell and the power of the French in India was effectively ended, although a brief resurgence occurred in 1782 under Admiral de Suffren. The French colonies in India remained separate from British India until Independence came in 1947 and the French voluntarily ceded its former colonies to the new Indian state.<ref>''A History of India'' (Volume Two) (1978) by Percival Spear p.68, p.77 </ref>

Some Frenchmen served in the Armies of the rulers of the [[Princely States]]. For example, M. Maistre De la Tour, was the French commandant of Hyder Ali’s artillery which had "un Corps de Troupes Européennes". Refer [[French#External links|Historical books online]] below.

==Records==
General articles:
*[[Birth, marriage and death records]]
*[[Non-British Ancestors]]

=== Church records ===
If your ancestors were baptised, married or buried in a European church in [[British India]], then the church records should have been transcribed and sent to the capital of the Presidency, where they would later have been forwarded on to London. See [[Birth, marriage and death records]] for further information. However, your French ancestors may not have lived in British India. In this case, the church records will not be kept at the [[British Library]].

Births, marriages and deaths in Pondichéry from 1676 to 1784. ''Résumé des Actes de l'État Civil de Pondichéry''. Published by the Société de l'Histoire de l'Inde Française (Pondichéry) 1917-1937

Volume III contains an alphabetical index at the end, following page 408, which appears to be in respect of the third volume only. This displays in the “Table of Contents” box.

Some church records from French India have been microfilmed by [[FamilySearch]] (LDS). More details are available in the FamilySearch [https://familysearch.org/catalog/search Library catalogue].
 Digitised microfilms may be available to view online on home computers, or else have viewing restrictions such as being only viewable at at FamilySearch Centres, refer individual microfilm catalogue entries and the Fibiwiki page [[FamilySearch Centres]].

==Archives==
===ANOM, previously CAOM===
The Pondicherry archives are in the "Archives Nationales d'Outre-Mer (ANOM)" previously known as the "Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer" (CAOM), in the city of Aix en Provence, France.

Records for Île Bourbon (Réunion), [Reunion Island] and Île de France (Île Maurice), [Mauritius], islands which have links with India, are included in those available at ANOM.

The website previously had a limited number of pages in English, which however no longer seems to be included. The current website seems to have had major changes, and the writer of this section found some aspects of the new website somewhat difficult to navigate.

In addition to the five Districts, mentioned above, it is/was previously advised there were eight subsidiary trading stations (factories), at [[Balasore| Balassore]], [[Cossimbazar|Kassimbazar]], Yougdia, or Jougdia now on the seabed near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwip Sandwip], [[Dacca]], [[Patna]], [[Masulipatam|Masulipatnam]], [[Calicut]], [[Surat|Surate]] and Iskitipitch, otherwise called the îles Iskitippah, or the Iskitippah Islands, (although only sandbanks<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100707032416/http://www.claudearpi.net/maintenance/uploaded_pics/Interets_Britanniques.pdf "Pondicherry: The last months before India’s Independence: Perspectives of a British Consul General"] by Claude Arpi August 15, 2005, claudearpi.net, now an archived webpage</ref>) probably located in the vicinity of [[Yanaon]].

Information relating to '''French''' ancestry in India, and also to the British in France.

==Principal locations==
The major French possessions in India were:
*[[Pondicherry]] (Pondichéry)
*[[Chandernagar]] (Chandernagor)
*[[Karikal]]
*[[Mahé]]
*[[Yanaon]]

== Brief history of the French in India==
The '''French East India Company''' was formed in 1664, but it was so closely tied with the state that its fortunes rose and fell with the careers of ministers and turns of politics. It was not until after 1720 that its fortunes revived rapidly. Until this time, the the French stake in India was not great enough to warrant the English fighting over it, so the two companies declared neutrality. However, between 1720 and 1740, the French Company's trade increased to ten times its value until it was nearly half the size of the English Company. The French Company now presented an economic threat to the English Company.

This threat was exacerbated by two wholly European wars : the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years War (1756-1763), in which England and France were on opposite sides. The two Companies, backed by their respective states, went to war in India. The ensuing conflicts were known as the [[Carnatic Wars]]. In 1746 the French captured [[Madras (City)|Madras]] but the British exchanged this for Cape Breton Island in North America in 1748. The French and English then fought over Indian territory, aiding rival princes and governors, until the French were soundly defeated in 1760. Pondicherry fell and the power of the French in India was effectively ended, although a brief resurgence occurred in 1782 under Admiral de Suffren. The French colonies in India remained separate from British India until Independence came in 1947 and the French voluntarily ceded its former colonies to the new Indian state.<ref>''A History of India'' (Volume Two) (1978) by Percival Spear p.68, p.77 </ref>

Some Frenchmen served in the Armies of the rulers of the [[Princely States]]. For example, M. Maistre De la Tour, was the French commandant of Hyder Ali’s artillery which had "un Corps de Troupes Européennes". Refer [[French#External links|Historical books online]] below.

General articles:
*[[Birth, marriage and death records]]
*[[Non-British Ancestors]]

=== Church records ===
If your ancestors were baptised, married or buried in a European church in [[British India]], then the church records should have been transcribed and sent to the capital of the Presidency, where they would later have been forwarded on to London. See [[Birth, marriage and death records]] for further information. However, your French ancestors may not have lived in British India. In this case, the church records will not be kept at the [[British Library]].

==Archives==
===ANOM, previously CAOM===
The Pondicherry archives are in the "Archives Nationales d'Outre-Mer (ANOM)" previously known as the "Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer" (CAOM), in the city of Aix en Provence, France.

Records for Île Bourbon (Réunion), [Reunion Island] and Île de France (Île Maurice), [Mauritius], islands which have links with India, are included in those available at ANOM.

The website previously had a limited number of pages in English, which however no longer seems to be included. The current website seems to have had major changes, and the writer of this section found some aspects of the new website somewhat difficult to navigate.

In addition to the five Districts, mentioned above, it is/was previously advised there were eight subsidiary trading stations (factories), at [[Balasore| Balassore]], [[Cossimbazar|Kassimbazar]], Yougdia, or Jougdia now on the seabed near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwip Sandwip], [[Dacca]], [[Patna]], [[Masulipatam|Masulipatnam]], [[Calicut]], [[Surat|Surate]] and Iskitipitch, otherwise called the îles Iskitippah, or the Iskitippah Islands, (although only sandbanks<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100707032416/http://www.claudearpi.net/maintenance/uploaded_pics/Interets_Britanniques.pdf "Pondicherry: The last months before India’s Independence: Perspectives of a British Consul General"] by Claude Arpi August 15, 2005, claudearpi.net, now an archived webpage</ref>) probably located in the vicinity of [[Yanaon]].

==Armoured Motor Batteries and Armoured Motor Brigades MGC 1915-1921==
In the operation from Shabkadar (North West Frontier) on 8 October 1915 "armoured cars were used for the first time in action in India and proved of great value".<ref>[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29652/supplement/6699 ''London Gazette Supplement'' 4 July 1916, page 6699]</ref>

"Armoured Motor Units began to form in Spring of 1915 utilising vehicles donated by rich Indians and Europeans. This was overseen by Colonel Lord Montagu (Inspector of Motor Vehicles, India and later Brigadier General, Advisor on Mechanical Transport Services, India). Only No 1 AMU had reliable vehicles - three Rolls Royces which, like the other cars were armour-plated by Indian Railway Workshops, and this unit acted as a Brigade HQ for Nos 1, 2 & 3 AMUs. Most of the other vehicles were unsuitable and it was not until 1918 that improved cars were made available.

The Units were re-designated Armoured Motor Batteries in 1917 and during this period, British and Indian crews were gradually replaced by MGC personnel. The British crews had originally been provided by Territorials from garrisons in India.
By 1919, Nos 2 & 3 Armoured Motor Brigades were formed from Nos 4 - 12 AMBs, whilst Nos 13 - 16 AMBs remained un-brigaded. At the commencement of the 3rd Afghan War, No 1 Armoured Motor Brigade was reorganised into five Regular and three Auxiliary AMBs which served in the Khyber and Chitral areas. HQ No 10 Armoured Motor Brigade, formed in the UK, commanded Nos 5, 6, 7 & 16 AMBs and operated in Waziristan and Mahsud".<ref name=Inva>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191219000718/https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/india-general-service-1908-35,-g.v.r.,-two-clasps-1-c-2ldcgbbbnu?afRedir=true ''Lot 460: India General Service 1908-35, G.V.R., two clasps, Waziristan 1919-21, Waziristan 1921-24 (7808665 Pte.

'''6th Armoured Motor Battery, MGC'''
 It was stated "The 6th Machine Gun Company, served in Waziristan 1919-1921 as No. 6 Armoured Motor Battery with the No. 3 Echelon of the Tochi Column in November 1919.

=== Crossley Armoured Cars===
After the First World War, the British Army in India had a requirement for Armoured Cars for areas such as the North West frontier. A delegation was despatched to Britain to see what was on offer and particularly to look at the offerings from Rolls-Royce as their wartime models had performed well. As well as being expensive they surprisingly were unable to get over the gradient test on the cross country trial. There was also at the trials a 1 1/2 ton Crossley based on the chassis that had been intended for a Russian contract that came to nothing because of the Revolution. This was the chassis that was under consideration as a medium truck for India and eventually became the IGL1. It sailed through the trials. An order for 32 followed with bodies by Vickers and these were designated IGA1 by Crossley. These were delivered in 1923 and a further order followed. Total deliveries were about 450. All of these vehicles were fitted with solid tyres presumably to remove the risk of punctures but these were never very successful when used off road as their narrow profile inevitably led to the vehicle sinking up to its axles.<ref>[http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/history/military.html Crossley Military Vehicles after WW1] crossley-motors.org.uk</ref>

Crossley armoured cars did not prove popular with their crews who found them underpowered and underbraked due to the weight of the armoured body. Brakes were fitted to the rear wheels only which made handling these cars on the mountainous roads of the North-West Frontier of India a tricky business.<ref>[http://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads/armoured-cars-tanks-other-vehicles-pith-helmets.26951/ Post 1] from WW2Talk "Armoured Cars, Tanks, Other Vehicles... & Pith Helmets" with images</ref>

In 1933 Crossley armoured cars had solid tyres to avoid punctures. This had made them very rough to ride in, and caused them to be very prone to turning over. These cars operated in Peshawar at this time in a campaign against the Red Shirts. Several of the cars were trapped in the streets by rioters, and at least one was burned out. A system was installed inside the cars that electrified the hulls so that rioters couldn't climb on top of the cars. There were a few 6 wheeled armoured cars with the same Crossley turret… Very few photos of these cars survive.

Although it is not certain in all cases, at this time following a precedent started in World War I, the names on tanks tend to denote the battalion, so any car name starting with C is likely to have been on a car in the 3rd Battalion, or third company of the Royal Tank Corps.

There were ... about 100 of these armoured cars. They rotated to the NWFP for about 6 months each in turn.<ref name=NBal/>.

==Armoured Motor Batteries and Armoured Motor Brigades MGC 1915-1921==
In the operation from Shabkadar (North West Frontier) on 8 October 1915 "armoured cars were used for the first time in action in India and proved of great value".<ref>[https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29652/supplement/6699 ''London Gazette Supplement'' 4 July 1916, page 6699]</ref>

"Armoured Motor Units began to form in Spring of 1915 utilising vehicles donated by rich Indians and Europeans. This was overseen by Colonel Lord Montagu (Inspector of Motor Vehicles, India and later Brigadier General, Advisor on Mechanical Transport Services, India). Only No 1 AMU had reliable vehicles - three Rolls Royces which, like the other cars were armour-plated by Indian Railway Workshops, and this unit acted as a Brigade HQ for Nos 1, 2 & 3 AMUs. Most of the other vehicles were unsuitable and it was not until 1918 that improved cars were made available.

The Units were re-designated Armoured Motor Batteries in 1917 and during this period, British and Indian crews were gradually replaced by MGC personnel. The British crews had originally been provided by Territorials from garrisons in India.
By 1919, Nos 2 & 3 Armoured Motor Brigades were formed from Nos 4 - 12 AMBs, whilst Nos 13 - 16 AMBs remained un-brigaded. At the commencement of the 3rd Afghan War, No 1 Armoured Motor Brigade was reorganised into five Regular and three Auxiliary AMBs which served in the Khyber and Chitral areas. HQ No 10 Armoured Motor Brigade, formed in the UK, commanded Nos 5, 6, 7 & 16 AMBs and operated in Waziristan and Mahsud".<ref name=Inva>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191219000718/https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/india-general-service-1908-35,-g.v.r.,-two-clasps-1-c-2ldcgbbbnu?afRedir=true ''Lot 460: India General Service 1908-35, G.V.R., two clasps, Waziristan 1919-21, Waziristan 1921-24 (7808665 Pte.

 It was stated "The 6th Machine Gun Company, served in Waziristan 1919-1921 as No. 6 Armoured Motor Battery with the No. 3 Echelon of the Tochi Column in November 1919.

=== Crossley Armoured Cars===
After the First World War, the British Army in India had a requirement for Armoured Cars for areas such as the North West frontier. A delegation was despatched to Britain to see what was on offer and particularly to look at the offerings from Rolls-Royce as their wartime models had performed well. As well as being expensive they surprisingly were unable to get over the gradient test on the cross country trial. There was also at the trials a 1 1/2 ton Crossley based on the chassis that had been intended for a Russian contract that came to nothing because of the Revolution. This was the chassis that was under consideration as a medium truck for India and eventually became the IGL1. It sailed through the trials. An order for 32 followed with bodies by Vickers and these were designated IGA1 by Crossley. These were delivered in 1923 and a further order followed. Total deliveries were about 450. All of these vehicles were fitted with solid tyres presumably to remove the risk of punctures but these were never very successful when used off road as their narrow profile inevitably led to the vehicle sinking up to its axles.<ref>[http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/history/military.html Crossley Military Vehicles after WW1] crossley-motors.org.uk</ref>

Crossley armoured cars did not prove popular with their crews who found them underpowered and underbraked due to the weight of the armoured body. Brakes were fitted to the rear wheels only which made handling these cars on the mountainous roads of the North-West Frontier of India a tricky business.<ref>[http://ww2talk.com/index.php?threads/armoured-cars-tanks-other-vehicles-pith-helmets.26951/ Post 1] from WW2Talk "Armoured Cars, Tanks, Other Vehicles... & Pith Helmets" with images</ref>

In 1933 Crossley armoured cars had solid tyres to avoid punctures. This had made them very rough to ride in, and caused them to be very prone to turning over. These cars operated in Peshawar at this time in a campaign against the Red Shirts. Several of the cars were trapped in the streets by rioters, and at least one was burned out. A system was installed inside the cars that electrified the hulls so that rioters couldn't climb on top of the cars. There were a few 6 wheeled armoured cars with the same Crossley turret… Very few photos of these cars survive.

Although it is not certain in all cases, at this time following a precedent started in World War I, the names on tanks tend to denote the battalion, so any car name starting with C is likely to have been on a car in the 3rd Battalion, or third company of the Royal Tank Corps.

There were ... about 100 of these armoured cars. They rotated to the NWFP for about 6 months each in turn.<ref name=NBal/>.

==''Army and Navy Gazette''==
''Army and Navy Gazette''. Full title: ''Army and Navy Gazette : journal of the militia and volunteer forces'', which later changed to ''Army and Navy Gazette Journal of the Reserve, and Auxiliary Forces''. This publication is available on [[findmypast]], category "Newspapers & periodicals", with the same contents also available on the British Newspaper Archive, both pay websites. The date range is Saturday 07 January 1860 to Saturday 31 December 1921, with issues 1860-1871, 1884-1918, 1920-1921, with details on a [https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/army-and-navy-gazette BNA page].

It appears that after 1921 the title then continued as ''Army, Navy and Air Force Gazette'' and in 1936 amalgamated with the ''Naval & Military Record and Royal Dockyards Gazette'' to form the ''United Services Review'' (which in turn may have ceased in 1947).

'' The Army and Navy Gazette'' regularly included information about "Army Stations" and "Navy Stations". The Findmypast issue for April 1, 1911 included a four page Supplement with this information, located between pages 300 and 301, perhaps designed to be easily pulled out if required.

This is a commercial publication, not an official ''List'' from the Admiralty.
*The Archive.org collection [https://archive.org/details/admiralty-publications?&sort=-date Admiralty (Great Britain) publications] which mainly consists of ''Navy Lists'' (excluding war years) which is '''searchable as a collection'''.

Also included on Archive.org from the collection of the [http://archive.org/details/nationallibraryofscotland National Library of Scotland on Archive.org] the sub collection [https://archive.org/details/nlsnavylists British Navy Lists], in respect of the Royal Navy for the 1st and 2nd World War periods, '''searchable as a collection'''.

The Lists were initially published on a monthly basis, but some years were only published quarterly. Monthly Naval Lists appear to have been published for the period 1913-1920, but not all are available digitally. The lists below covering 1913, 1914, 1918, 1919 and 1920 contain both monthly and quarterly editions. The ''Quarterly Navy List''s were published January, April, July and October. The NLS holding does not include monthly lists for those months covered by quarterly lists, and it is probable that in fact there was only one List, not two, published when there was a Quarterly edition.

The Lists are also available on the website of the NLS, with transcriptions available, together with a '''Search''' facility, as [https://digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/archive/93506066 ''Navy List''s: 1913 to 1944]. Some researchers prefer the NLS website for searching, but prefer Archive.org for general reading.

'''Note''': During the First and Second World Wars there were two separate editions of the Navy List, one of which was a Confidential version for official use only, the other being an expurgated version available to the general public. Available at the [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/r/C1886 National Archives, Kew Series ADM 177 1914-1945 Admiralty: Navy Lists, Confidential Edition]. Most, perhaps all, are available to download from the National Archives website. In normal circumstances there is a fee charged, however currently (2022/02) due to covid conditions, the downloads are free.
 In addition the British Library holds ''Supplement to the Monthly Naval list : showing organisation of the fleet, flag officers' commands, &c.'' (Jan. 1915-July 1919), a monthly publication (missing some months). UIN: BLL01004135118.

==''Report on the Health of the Navy''==
Title varied. Initially titled ''Statistical Report on the Health of the Navy'', and some editions possibly may have been titled ''Statistical Report of the Health of the Navy''. Also ''A Statistical Return of the Health of the Royal Navy''. Later titles may have omitted ''Statistical''. It appears to have been published generally annually from 1830, through to c 1936 by HMSO [His/Her Majesty's Stationery Office] and also presented to the House of Commons as a Parliamentary Paper. Accordingly it should be available through the subscription website ''UK Parliamentary Papers'', see [[Subscription websites-online newspapers, journals and directories]] for details and suggested access. Your Library needs to have subscribed for the module covering the period required.

==''The United Service Journal and Naval and Military Magazine''==
The title varies: 1827-1828, ''Naval and Military Magazine'' ; Jan. 1829-Dec. 1841, ''The United Service Journal and Naval and Military magazine''; Jan. 1842-Apr. 1843, ''The United Service Magazine and Naval and Military Journal'': May 1843-Dec. 1882, ''Colburn's United Service Magazine and Naval and Military Journal''; Jan. 1883-Dec. 1887, ''Colburn's United Service Magazine and Journal of the Army, Navy and Auxiliary Forces''; Jan. 1888-Mar. 1890, ''Colburn's United Service Magazine''. The title then became ''The United Service Magazine'', which was published until June 1920. Many of the Google Books are catalogued under the latter title. Most of the links below are from Google Books.

Volume numbers were irregular: Jan. 1829-Dec. 1884 without volume numbering; Jan. 1885-Apr. 1888 called v. 113-119; May 1888-Mar. 1890, v. 119-122 (new ser. v. 1-4); Apr. 1890-Sept. 1900, old ser. v.107-127 (new ser. v. 1-21); Oct. 1900-June 1920, old ser. v. 143-182 (new ser. v. 22-61)

From 1920 the title became ''The Army Quarterly''.

A researcher found details of the locations of both service company and reserve/depot company for his regiment of interest in the 1830s-1840s. Stations of the British Army were generally tabulated within the “Editor’s Portfolio”, but sometimes separately.<ref>davieboy. "Private Samuel Delap, 10th Regiment of Foot"

General Register Office

2026-04-28T12:49:10Z

Maureene: /* External links */

''' General Register Office [England and Wales]'''
 '''and some other sources of records from abroad.'''

Registration of births, marriage and deaths in England started in 1837, although it did not become compulsory until 1875. Copies of certificates can be obtained from the '''General Register Office (GRO)'''. It was not compulsory to register a birth, marriage or death with the British authorities whilst you were abroad, but if the event was registered, then a certificate can be obtained from the GRO.

The General Register Office is a subsidiary of HM Passport Office, which in turn is an an agency of the Home Office.

Records originally held by the GRO may now be part of [[The National Archives]]. Those records classified as Non-Statutory were transmitted from the GRO to TNA in 1977,<ref name=FSW>"British Births, Marriages and Deaths Overseas" FamilySearch Wiki, see [[General Register Office#External links|External links above]].</ref> where they have a National Archives catalogue reference, series RG. Some of the records in respect of military overseas births, marriages and deaths remain with the GRO. GRO documentation about the latter group of records is very brief. Some events are recorded in multiple places.

The GRO records are closed to the public.

The National Archives has produced a brief online research guide "Looking for records of a birth, marriage or death of a British national at sea or abroad", refer [[General Register Office#External links|External links below]].

Records at the General Register Office and The National Archives for Statutory Returns, including Consular Returns, and all the records covered by the GRO Indexes, '''may not include records of persons originating from Scotland and Ireland''', and records must be looked for in Scotland and Ireland. For more details, see the FamilySearch Wiki article below. Online sources include ScotlandsPeople, see [[Scotland]].

 '''Update''' "...thousands of new records from The National Archives and the General Register Office" were added to Findmypast 8 October 2021 in the categories British Armed Forces and Overseas Births and Deaths, "births at sea, fallen seamen and more" but specific details were not provided.

FamilyRelatives.com has free Overseas Indexes, including indexes for Consular Returns, and in respect of military overseas BMD. These are viewable, not searchable images, refer [[Chaplains Returns]] for details.

If you find a reference in the indexes to a record in one of the above returns, the following options are available to obtain a copy of the record:
*Request a copy online from the GRO (see below). It is unclear, but it is thought this will be a transcript, not an image of the original record.
*View the returns on microfilm at the [[The National Archives]], Kew, and arrange a print of the image if required.
*View RG 32, RG 33, RG 34, RG 35 and RG 36 records online at Findmypast (noting the coverage may be incomplete), or Ancestry or BMD Registers which are all pay sites. (You may search for free for these records). The images may then be saved to your computer and/or printed.

If you find an GRO index reference for a Consular Return record, either on FamilyRelatives.com or [[Findmypast]], to obtain a copy of the record, for [[Findmypast]] first check if there is an image available for an equivalent FO record (same database). If not, it it suggested, if you have convenient Ancestry access, you then check to see whether there is a record in the Ancestry database "UK, Registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths From British Consulates, 1810-1968, refer next section, as these appear to be equivalent records from the Foreign Office originating from the same source, and if not, you should request a copy online from the GRO (see below).

==Other records at the National Archives==

*There are Foreign Office (FO) files at the National Archives such as Consular Returns containing copies of entries of birth or baptism, marriage and death or burial of British subjects. Copies of some of these Consular returns are also available at the [[London Metropolitan Archives]], (previously the Guildhall Library), some of whose records have been microfilmed by FamilySearch.

:Most of these records will also be found in the records available from the General Register Office, described above. There are, however, some registers at Kew from which the entries were not transmitted to the Registrar General.<ref name=FSW/>

British Army

Maureene: /* Censuses */

The '''British Army''' is the land-based forces of the United Kingdom. The British Army was heavily involved in Imperial affairs in India and most regiments (both infantry and cavalry) served in India at some point. Throughout the nineteenth century, and into the twentieth century, a significant number of British troops were stationed at India at any one time. In 1847, for instance, around 20% of British Army regiments were on the sub-continent, while at the outbreak of the First World War, around 30% of the British Army was based in India.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/worldwarshortacc00fieb#page/2/mode/2up Page 3] ''The world war; a short account of the principal land operations on the Belgian, French, Russian, Italian, Greek and Turkish fronts'' by Colonel G J Fiebeger 1921 Archive.org.</ref> The General staff were supported by the Staff Corps and the Office of the [[Quarter Master General]].

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could also be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of either the [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]].

==Regiments==
Any regiment name prefaced by the initials H.M. (''Her'' or ''His Majesty's'') is a British Army regiment, although the term is not strictly applied, especially amongst the ecclesiastical records. These regiments may be referred to as "Royal Regiments".

Regiments are divided across several arms of the army, these being the [[Cavalry]] (who fought mounted on horseback), the [[Infantry]] (soldiers who fought on foot) and the support arms such as the [[Artillery]] (who used weaponry such as canons and large guns) and the Engineers construction, demolition, surveying etc.) Also see '''Regiment names terminology''' below.

The article [[History of British Army Infantry Regiments]] is a general history of the origin and development of the infantry regiments and explains some of the reforms that took place.

*To browse the Artillery category, see [[:Category:British Army Artillery Regiments|British Army Artillery Regiments]]

The cap badges of a few regiments can be found in [[:Category:Cap badge images|Cap badge images]].

For regiments serving in India, when a regiment was to return to England, the men were given the opportunity to 'volunteer for' (join) another British Army regiment in India. The view seems to have been "A trained soldier in India is worth five recruits, and that soldier, when he is brought home, is not worth anything."<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=Ybk_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA4 Page 4] ''The Regimental Companion: Containing the Pay, Allowances and Relative Duties of Every Officer in the British Service, Volume 3'' by Charles James 7th edition, considerably enlarged 1811 Google Books</ref>As an example, when the [[96th Regiment of Foot]] was ordered home in September 1854, a ‘great number of men’ volunteered for the [[32nd Regiment of Foot|32nd foot]], thirty volunteered for the [[43rd Regiment of Foot|43rd]], while twenty-two volunteered for the [[74th Regiment of Foot|74th Highlanders]].<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/36/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations, or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 36 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> However, when transferring to another unit, the soldiers were treated as new recruits, and lost any rank they had, reverting to the rank of a private,<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/38/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 38 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> although it appears likely that in practice they were promoted again reasonably quickly.

===Locating a regiment===
There are many ways to find out locations at which a regiment was stationed. More labourious methods include tracking through the muster rolls, army lists or station lists published in newspapers. Many of our regiment articles include a timeline of major stations.
*The archived website Regiments.org provides information about regimental deployments, which can range from general to specific. See [[British Army#Other 2|External Links - Other, below]].

==Wars and campaigns==
The British Army were involved in numerous wars, campaigns and battles in India and the surrounding region. The Fibiwiki has a [[Chronological list of wars and campaigns]].

*To browse wars in the region, see the [[:Category:Wars and Campaigns|Wars and Campaigns]] category.
*To browse battles, see the [[:Category:Battles|Battles]] category.

==Enlistment in India==
It was possible for a man born in India to enlist in the British Army in India, a fact to be considered when researching. Enlistment was possible for men with European parents, or [[Anglo Indian|Eurasian]] men of fair complexion―those whose looks allowed them to ‘pass’ as white.<ref> [https://international-journal-of-anglo-indian-studies.org/index.php/IJAIS/article/view/71 Loyalty, Parity, and Social Control-The Competing Visions on the Creation of an ‘Eurasian’ Military Regiment in late British India] by Satoshi Mizutani ''The International Journal of Anglo-Indian Studies'' Volume 10, No. 1, 2010</ref>

There are some early 1800s references to mixed race soldiers, mainly musicians, with 'black' complexions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100922100136/http://www.wellingboroughrec.org.uk/blackh/blackarm.htm "Black Soldiers in Northamptonshire Regiments of the British Army"] by John Ellis wellingboroughrec.org.uk , now archived.</ref> There is one reference to an Anglo Indian Boy Trumpeter in the [[Royal Artillery]] c 1936<ref> Pages 122-123, ''Pick up your Parrots and Monkeys: The Life of a Boy Soldier in India'' by William Pennington 2003. Now [https://archive.org/details/pickupyourparrot0000penn/mode/2up available online] Archive.org Books to Borrow/Lending Library.</ref>
===Enlistment and birth in other overseas British Empire countries===
When researching, keep in mind that similar to the situation in India, it was also possible for men from other countries to enlist when regiments were stationed in their countries.<ref> Rootsweb Australia Message Board 19 October 2004 post [http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.oceania.australia.general/4184/mb.ashx?pnt=1 Chelsea Pensioners - soldiers with an Australian connection] It includes details of two men who were born in Australia and served in the Madras Artillery</ref> Men whose fathers were in the British Army could be born anywhere in the world the British Army was stationed.

===Indians in the British Army===
There were a limited number of Indians who were part of the British Army. C 1911, there were Indian soldiers serving in the Royal Artillery as drivers, and native gunners in ammunition columns serving as wagon-men. <ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/armiesofindia00macmuoft#page/182/mode/1up Page 182] ''The Armies of India'' described by Major G F MacMunn (Painted by Major Lovett) 1911 Archive.org</ref> During the [[First World War]], there are Medal Index Card references to Lascars in the Royal Artillery, this rank was also known as a [[Gun Lascar]]. In 1924, [[Mountain Artillery|Indian Mountain/Pack Batteries]] became Batteries in the Royal Artillery, which was the situation until 1939 when the Indian Mountain Batteries were transferred from the Royal Artillery to the Indian Regiment of Artillery.
 During the [[First World War]] there are also references to Lascars in the Inland Water Transport, Royal Engineers.
 There were Indian and Burmese drivers and artificers in 1023 and 1024 Mechanical Transport Companies [[Royal Army Service Corps|ASC]], raised in Burma for service in Mesopotamia.
 From c 1921, there were Indian Mechanical Transport Companies, which were part of the [[Royal Army Service Corps]], until subsequently transferred to the Indian Army.
====Indian Platoon, British Army Infantry Regiment====
From early 1922 , shortly after the introduction of the Vickers Machine Guns into Infantry Battalions<ref name=Plat>capricorn.

Retrieved 17 July 2020.</ref>, an Indian Platoon, or Support Company was attached to each British infantry regiment serving in India up until November 1932. Each such platoon comprised one Indian officer and 42 other ranks, their primary duty being to lead and care for the mule packs upon which guns and ammunition of the Machine-Gun Company were carried. However, these soldiers appear to have been regarded as part of the Indian Army. <ref>[https://www.dnw.co.uk/media/auction_catalogues/Medals%2027%20Sep%2016.pdf Item 97 (8345 Qmr. Hav.

There are various sources of information for finding out about a man in the British Army.

===Army Lists===
''Army List''s are useful if you are researching an officer. There were Monthly, Quarterly and Annual editions published. Some of these were commercial publications, while some were official War Office publications, The official publications included ''Quarterly Army List''s from 1880 and ''Monthly Army List''s from August 1881. At least during the [[First World War]], only the Monthly Lists cover the officers in “battalion order”<ref> rflory [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/228278-army-list-copies-at-kew/?do=findComment&comment=2267381 Army List - copies at Kew?] ''Great War Forum'' 28 May 2015. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref>, but this listing probably appeared in earlier publications also. ''Quarterly Army List''s only list regular, career officers and not others such as temporary officers and territorial officers who are to be found in the ''Monthly Army List''s.<ref>rflory. [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/236726-army-list-lookup/?do=findComment&comment=2369451 Army List lookup], posts 4 and 10. ''Great War Forum'' 26 February 2016. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref> The ''Monthly Army List''s are available on the open shelves at the National Archives and major libraries, (but date ranges may be unclear). Based on library catalogues, Bodleian Libraries University of Oxford, and the National Library of Scotland may have the best collections of ''Monthly Army List''s.

For British Library holdings, including regimental and regional lists, from 1642, see the BL guide [https://www.bl.uk/britishlibrary/~/media/subjects%20images/government%20publications/pdfs/service-list-army-navy.pdf?la=en "Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force"].

For at least some war periods a Confidential or "Security Edition" was also published with known Monthly editions for August 1939 (available online) and September 1939, and it seems possible that ''Monthly List''s may have been continued after May 1940, to 1943, solely on a Confidential basis.<ref>From a comment in the British Library catalogue UIN: BLL01001094682 .</ref>

=====Online records=====
Genealogy websites such as [[findmypast]] and Ancestry, mentioned in the following sections, are pay websites. The basic subscription levels do '''not''' provide access to military records. Findmypast requires at least a Plus level of subscription for military records, while Ancestry requires at least a Premium level of subscription for military records, and additionally requires a higher level subscription for access to some military images. Generally these websites provide free access for a limited number of days during the year. Depending where you live you may be able to access such websites for free at a library near you. See [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips - Access some subscription websites with a Library Card]]. Access to such sites, including fold3, is also available at [[FamilySearch Centres]].

Where a record series appears on both findmypast, and Ancestry there may be differences in transcriptions of names which will affect the Search results. If you cannot initially find a record, it is suggested you try searching on both websites, and in addition on FamilySearch, a free website. Details of some of the military records on the latter site may be found under findmypast, below.

 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records, 1760-1913]. The database description states that it includes index records from WO 97, WO 119, WO 121, WO 122, WO 131, but the associated browse images linked from the webpage appear to be for WO97 only. The index records include name, place of birth and estimated date of birth.
 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: Discharge Documents of Pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122)]. Note that the latter title is inaccurate, as WO 122 records are for the period 1816-1817 only. The index records include name, birth and place, and date of discharge.
 To view related images, you can search on [[findmypast]], and view the images on findmypast. This will be the most convenient option for most people. Alternatively you can access the images as digitised microfilm at a FamilySearch Family History Centre, see '''[[FamilySearch Centres]]'''.
 These record images are also available through the FamilySearch catalogue, where the individual digitised microfilms may be described: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea pensioners' service records, 1760-1913 [WO 97<nowiki>]</nowiki>]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: discharge documents of pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122) and in addition WO 119, WO 121, WO 131 records]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/254431 Probably WO 119, although not stated)]. From these catalogue entries, it is clear that the FamilySearch databases of Index records cover less records than the digital microfilms available through the FamilySearch catalogue. Note however, the digitised microfilms may be selected records only from the particular record series, not the entire National Archives record series.

: '''Notes''': [1] WO 76 images are also available on findmypast, refer above, and as a free download from The National Archives. [2] WO 97 images are also available on findmypast, refer above. Ancestry titles appear inaccurate in regarding dates. [3] The National Archives classifies WO 97 records to 1913, not beyond. [4] The WO 116 records available on Ancestry may possibly be derived from the National Archives microfilms, which do not extend past 1882, or 1893, depending on category, which are available as free downloads from the National Archives website, refer below. [4] WO 119 records are catalogued by the National Archives as "1757-1849".

'''Fold3'''
 [https://www.fold3.com/browse/1/ Fold3: All Databases].
 One of the databases is titled "UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admission And Discharge Records" with constituent records [1] Royal Hospital, Chelsea: Disability and Royal Artillery Out-Pensions. This record set only contains one piece. [2] "WO 116: Disability and Out-Pensions, Admissions", whose index records are available on Ancestry, refer above. Records to piece 165 (TNA last record WO 116/252); [3] 'WO 117: Length of Service Pensions, Admission Books. Records to piece 77 ; [4] WO 121: Discharge Documents of Pensioners. Records to piece 257; [5] WO 122: Discharge Documents, Foreigners' Regiments" Records to piece 14. The latter record series do not appear to be indexed on Ancestry. Note, not all pieces may be included.
 The fold3 database "Ireland, Royal Hospital Kilmainham Pensioner Discharge Documents" in addition to the WO 119 records indexed by Ancestry, also includes the database "Royal Hospital, Kilmainham: Pension Admissions", thought to be from WO 118.
 Note: WO 117 records are available as a free download from the National Archives website, refer below, and at least some WO 119, WO 121 and WO122 records are available on findmypast, refer above.

Fold3 contains a category [https://www.fold3.com/publication/933/military-books/browse Military Books] (In the Search use the search term "Military Books", which contains many online Naval & Military Press reprint books relating to both the British Army and the Indian Army. There are also additional titles in the War categories catalogued under the actual title, and a category Australia Military Book Collection, which covers varying periods periods, which appear to be original scans from "Gould Genealogy and History"/[https://www.gould.com.au/australian-and-states-military-collection/au0-u24/ "Australian and States Military Collection"]).

Fold3, an American company, generally provides free access for a limited number of days during the year, as an example 2019-2021 for a few days before and including "Memorial Day", a federal holiday in USA, the last Monday of May. (2021 free access for WW1 and WW2 records, and "Military Books" appears to have extended from c am Friday ET (Eastern Time) (being UTC−05:00; UTC = Greenwich Mean Time) to 11.59 pm ET Monday). 2020 free access for British records, including online books due to VE Day 8 May, with probable free dates 4-10 May (Monday-Sunday). However c October 2020 due to website changes, it is not clear whether Military Books are still considered British records.

'''Update'''. Following the 2021 purchase by Ancestry of the pay website Forces War Records, it appears that many/all? of the non-american records from Fold3 also now are available on Forces War Records, probably released late March 2023. From the [https://uk.forceswarrecords.com Home page], scroll to the bottom of the page and select Browse Records. Then scroll down the list of datasets to the required record set, including "Military Books", as available on Fold3, but possibly a smaller database. Forces War Records also includes a free dataset "Historical Documents Library", which however requires registration to view the books etc in it.

=====Kilmainham Pensioners=====
The records online at findmypast now include those men discharged through the Kilmainham Hospital in Ireland, as "British Army Pensioners - Kilmainham, Ireland 1783-1822". These records are held under TNA reference [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14327?v=r WO 119], and are similar to the Chelsea Pensioner records WO 97, above.

There are other records for Kilmainham , not digitised by findmypast, under [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14326?v=r WO 118] “Registers of in- and out- pensioners of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham”. In-pensioners were admitted until 1922.

**The book ''British Army Pensioners Abroad, 1772-1899'' by Norman K. Crowder includes all British Army pensioners who retired to any place outside of Great Britain for which records are available (1772-1899). There are 8,934 entries, transcribed from [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C1923393?v=r WO 120/35] and [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C1923427?v=r WO 120/69-70].

*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14329?v=r '''WO 121'''] records. These records are available online on findmypast , refer above. The records include "Register of men discharged without pension", 1884 to 1887. Although the catalogue does not mention this, there are many records of men leaving the army in India under the heading "Nominal list of men discharged by the Commander-in-Chief in India." As the register provides name, regimental number, rank, corps, date and cause of discharge, attestation date (and a few other administration details) it is an invaluable resource for those not able to find these details elsewhere.

These records are included in the National Archives catalogue entry [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C537 Records of the Royal Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals]. The latter hospital was in Ireland. This category of records also includes
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14324?v=r '''WO 116'''] Disability and all Royal Artillery pensions and
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14325?v=r'''WO 117'''] Pensions awarded to soldiers for length of service.

Some of these records, in particular WO 116 (for what appears to be WO 116/1-165 being Cavalry and Infantry Disability October 1715 to '''1882''' (when the records cease) and Royal Artillery 1 November 1833 to '''1893''') (when the records continue but are not digitised) and WO 117 ( October 1823 to '''1913''') are available to '''download free of cost''' from the National Archives website, though the Discovery catalogue, or the links above.

An interesting series of selected records is [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C11584?v=r '''PIN 71''': Selected War Pensions Award Files for Service Prior to 1914]. This series consists of personal case files on disablement pensions arising from service in the Army or Navy before the First World War and case files concerning widows of such servicemen. The files contain medical records and details of place of birth, age, names of parents and siblings, religion, physical attributes, marital and parental status. The series appears to consist of approximately 6,300 individual files which are searchable by name online on the [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/ Discovery catalogue]. The actual files however are not available online.

Service and pension records from '''World War 1''' from the National Archives are available on the pay sites findmypast and Ancestry, refer above. They do '''contain some papers for men who did not serve in WW1''',<ref>Victorian Wars Forum [https://web.archive.org/web/20130709054504/http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7266&start=15 post] (now archived ) dated 17 July 2012 by Meurig. Other examples have been seen.</ref> so it is suggested you check these records for men with service prior to the War years. The World War 1 records include
*[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14567?v=r '''WO 363'''] records also known as the ‘Burnt Documents.’ These are the records which survived a fire, about one third of the total documents.

*'''PIN 82''', The National Archives record series from the Ministry of Pensions available on Findmypast in the database "British Armed Forces, First World War Widows' Pension Forms", located in Military, Armed Forces & Conflict/First World War. These are only a sample of the original forms, less than 2% of the original records. The rest of the collection was destroyed. Includes pension records for soldiers who died up to 1925.

====Muster rolls====
Unlike those of the presidency armies, muster rolls for British Army regiments stationed in India are not at the British Library but are instead at [[The National Archives]] at Kew in London.

Refer [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]], below, in particular the linked webinar "Army Musters".

The majority of the Muster records up to '''1878''' are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14223?v=h '''WO 12'''], including [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C52579?v=h '''Cavalry'''] and [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C88062?v=h '''Infantry'''], with Royal Artillery muster records in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C14221 '''WO 10''']. The catalogue describes the records as:
<blockquote>"...a comprehensive means of establishing dates of enlistment, movements throughout the world, and of discharge or death. The first entry may show age on enlistment. An entry on the form "Men becoming non-effective", sometimes to be found at the end of each quarter's musters, shows the birthplace, trade, and date of enlistment of any soldier discharged or dead during the quarter. From about 1868, at the end of each muster, may be found a Marriage Roll, which enumerates wives and children for whom married quarters were provided." </blockquote>
[[Image:72nd Married Roll 1877 (close up).JPG |right|thumb|325px| ''Detail from a 1877 Married Roll'']]
An 1877 example of data from a Marriage Roll can be seen in the image on the right.

From '''1878 to 1898''', all muster rolls are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C14227 '''WO 16''']. The majority of the records for the years 1878 to 1888 contain detailed pay lists with names. From 1888 onwards (WO 16/2917-3049) the series consists of company muster rolls only, and these do not contain pay lists. From about 1890, the muster rolls generally are only for men at Depots, and recruits, and do not generally include Battalions overseas.<ref> See National Archives webinar "Army musters – more than just accounts", around 14:30 min., above in [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]]</ref>

The Muster Rolls for the 63rd Regiment of Foot in the period 1819-1840 are known to contain Officers names<ref>Tilley, Megan [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031005859/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=87403 Troopships] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 3 July 2017, archived. </ref>, but generally the rolls are of enlisted men.

Muster roll records are unfortunately NOT available on [[LDS]] microfilms. If you are a FIBIS member and are unable to visit Kew, the [http://www.fibis.org/research/ FIBIS Research team] should be able to assist.

'''Please note that muster roll records may be missing for some Regiments and periods''', in India and generally. For example, there are virtually no muster roll records for the Royal Artillery in India.

===India Office military records at the British Library===
For a comprehensive description of sources available in the India Office Records, see Peter Bailey's article in ''[[FIBIS Journal]]'' 13.

There is a small collection of India Office records at the [[British Library]] called British Army Records '''IOR/L/MIL/15''' 1806-1930 ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3#1-3 catalogue entry] which includes links to subgroups including British Army: '''British troops embarked for India''' [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3-15#1-3-15 '''IOR/L/MIL/15/42-46'''] 1871-1889).
 '''Update''': The latter records are available<ref>[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/british-army-embarkation-lists-1871-1889 British Army Embarkation Lists, 1871-1889] Findmypast database.</ref> on [[Findmypast]] (pay website), located in Military, Armed Forces & Conflict/Other Wars & Conflicts, (added 9 July 2021).

There are also reference books from the Military Department Library relating to the British Army '''IOR/L/MIL/17/1''' ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-2_1&cid=1-1-1#1-1-1 catalogue entry]), including Army Lists for the British Army, apart from publications specifically relating to the British Army in India.

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of one of the Presidency Armies, which are to be found at the British Library, see [[Presidency Armies]] for an overview, and [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]] for details.

===Ecclesiastical returns===
If the man married, had children or died out on the Sub-continent then records of these occurences can often be found in the India Office [[Church records]]. However, some regimental chaplains only filed their BMDs with the [[General Register Office]] in London. The British Army Overseas Indexes can be found in genealogical libraries, the National Archives and searched on various websites including findmypast.com and familyrelatives.com. Certificates of these army returns can then be obtained from the GRO by ordering them [http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates online]. For more details refer '''[[Chaplains Returns]]'''.

Note that if a record is available both in the [[Church records]] and in the [[General Register Office]] records, the latter may contain more information, at least for some time periods. By way of example, in 1903 the additional information available for a marriage record was the nationalities of the groom and bride, and the occupations of the fathers of the groom and bride.

====WW1 Casualty Lists====
In its military sense, the term "casualty" includes all those who are killed in action or who die of wounds, as well as those who are wounded, listed as missing, or taken prisoner of war.<ref>
[https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/definitions/casualties Casualty: definition] Australian War Memorial website.</ref>

WW1 Casualty Lists were initially published on a daily basis in newspapers, but WO original lists no longer appear to exist. They were then published weekly (on a Tuesday) by HMSO, as ''War Office Weekly Casualty List'' no.1-48 (7 Aug.1917 - 2 July 1918), and later as ''Weekly Casualty List (War Office & Air Ministry)'' no.49-83 (9 July 1918 - 4 March 1919), available at some libraries.

Daily lists may be found in online newspaper databases such as ''The [London] Times Digital Archive'', for access see [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips]], and ''The Scotsman'' in Scotland, the latter initially all casualties but later limited to Scots related.

Naval & Military Press has published a number of facsimile reprints, in total 14 (9 for 1915, 2 for 1916, 1 for 1917, 2 for 1918)<ref>[https://www.naval-military-press.com/?s=British+Red+Cross+and+Order+of+St+John+Enquiry+List+&post_type=product ''British Red Cross & Order Of St John Enquiry List For Wounded And Missing''] Naval & Military Press</ref> catalogued as ''British Red Cross & Order Of St John Enquiry List For Wounded And Missing'', however the titles on the book covers do not contain the word ''for''. N&MP states the originals are held by the Department of Printed Books, The Imperial War Museum, “who hold the largest collection of these titles known to exist”. The IWM catalogue reference is "Enquiry list... : wounded and missing", part of Books, First World War, catalogue number LBY S. 6/767, and the holding details are 1915 (July-September), 1916 (February, September), 1917 (up to and including July 20th 1917, reprint), 1918 (October, December). Note: the IWM catalogue, when re-searching, often did not locate the item. In addition, elsewhere<ref>[https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/search?q=Enquiry%20List%20Wounded%20Missing&rn=2 Library Hub Discover catalogue record for BRCS Summary of work 17.7.15]</ref> it is advised that a publication available at IWM catalogued as ''The British Red Cross Society. Summary of Work for the week ending… '' includes a “report by the Enquiry Department for Wounded and Missing”, which '''possibly''' may include a List of names. These reports are catalogued by IWM as LBY BRCS B69- LBY BRCS B76 1914- 21 Oct.-4, 11, 24 Nov.-1, 5, 12, 19 Dec; LBY BRCS B77- LBY BRCS B87 1915- 2, 9, 16, 23 Jan.-6, 13, 20, 27 Feb.-6, 13, 27 Mar.; LBY BRCS B88- LBY BRCS B97 1915- 10, 17 Apr.-1, 8, 15, 29 May-5, 12, 19, 26 June; LBY BRCS B98- LBY BRCS B103 1915-3, 10, 17, 24? July-7, 21 Aug. LBY BRCS B104 Summaries of Work 11 September 1915 - March 1919. It is possible there may be additional IWM catalogue entries.

The Red Cross Archive in London is stated to hold additional lists to those reprinted by Naval and Military Press,<ref name=BRC/> but details could not be located in the Red Cross Archive [https://museumandarchives.redcross.org.uk/explore online catalogue], so it is unclear under what title they are catalogued. The [[British Library]] catalogue details one list ''Enquiry List, No. 21, 1918. Wounded and missing... up to November 20th, 1918'' (UIN: BLL01001129921). The Australian War Memorial Library holds copies, probably four, catalogued as ''Enquiry list : wounded and missing'' by British Red Cross and Order of St. John.

====Censuses====
=====1911 England and Wales Census=====
British Army personnel in India, together with their families appeared for the first time in an England and Wales Census in 1911, taken on the night of Sunday 2 April 1911. The 1911 Census is available on the pay websites [[findmypast]], Ancestry and perhaps other pay sites. This [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C90811 National Archives] catalogue entry shows the regiments (overseas and Channel Islands) that were included in the 1911 Census. The items for India, (or the Indian Army out of India) (17 in total) are RG 14/34978-34992, 34995, 34997. However, it is probable there were other regiments in India at this time. Note however, there are is at least one known instance of a soldier and his family known to be in the British Army in India at the time of the census, whose names do not appear in the census, another indication that the data may not be complete. (A GWF topic discusses some issues.<ref>Guest (the late Martin Gillott) [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/244538-1911-census-demographics-regular-battalions/?do=findComment&comment=2460719 1911 Census Demographics - Regular Battalions] ''Great War Forum'', page 2, 7 November, 2016 onwards.

The 1911 Census also includes similar information for other British Army overseas bases, and returns from ships of the Royal Navy at sea and in ports in England, Wales, Ireland but not Scotland, and abroad. For ships at sea on the census date, the next port of call determined into which category the records were placed.

== Conditions and activities==
=== Enlistment term===
From the end of the Napoleonic Wars until 1847, men were enlisted for twenty-one years, practically for life. From 1847 enlistment was for ten years, later increased to twelve; with a pension after twenty one years for extended service. From 1870, as part of the Caldwell Reforms, “short service” was introduced, where men enlisted for a period of time in the Army, the balance of time in the reserves (total twelve years). The standard term varied over time, including six and six, seven and five, three and nine, nine and three years, <ref> grumpy.

===Wives and families travelling to India===
For soldiers deployed from Britain to overseas garrisons only a proportion of men were allowed to be accompanied by their wives. For most countries the proportion was six wives per one hundred soldiers. However for India, and Australia, the ratio was twelve wives per one hundred men, including NCOs. The number of children was unlimited.<ref>Fuller, Tony [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031010929/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=12906952 Women on ships – again] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 11 August 2000, archived. (The author was researching at the Tower Hamlets Library).</ref> These wives and children were provided with food, accomodation and transportation by the Army and were classified as "on the strength".

British Army

2026-04-28T10:49:02Z

Maureene: /* 1926 Ireland Census */

The '''British Army''' is the land-based forces of the United Kingdom. The British Army was heavily involved in Imperial affairs in India and most regiments (both infantry and cavalry) served in India at some point. Throughout the nineteenth century, and into the twentieth century, a significant number of British troops were stationed at India at any one time. In 1847, for instance, around 20% of British Army regiments were on the sub-continent, while at the outbreak of the First World War, around 30% of the British Army was based in India.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/worldwarshortacc00fieb#page/2/mode/2up Page 3] ''The world war; a short account of the principal land operations on the Belgian, French, Russian, Italian, Greek and Turkish fronts'' by Colonel G J Fiebeger 1921 Archive.org.</ref> The General staff were supported by the Staff Corps and the Office of the [[Quarter Master General]].

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could also be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of either the [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]].

==Regiments==
Any regiment name prefaced by the initials H.M. (''Her'' or ''His Majesty's'') is a British Army regiment, although the term is not strictly applied, especially amongst the ecclesiastical records. These regiments may be referred to as "Royal Regiments".

Regiments are divided across several arms of the army, these being the [[Cavalry]] (who fought mounted on horseback), the [[Infantry]] (soldiers who fought on foot) and the support arms such as the [[Artillery]] (who used weaponry such as canons and large guns) and the Engineers construction, demolition, surveying etc.) Also see '''Regiment names terminology''' below.

The article [[History of British Army Infantry Regiments]] is a general history of the origin and development of the infantry regiments and explains some of the reforms that took place.

*To browse the Infantry category, see [[:Category:British Army Infantry Regiments|British Army Infantry Regiments]]. From 1881, see [[1881 Regimental Titles]].
*To browse the Cavalry category, see [[:Category:British Army Cavalry Regiments|British Army Cavalry Regiments]]
*To browse the Artillery category, see [[:Category:British Army Artillery Regiments|British Army Artillery Regiments]]

The cap badges of a few regiments can be found in [[:Category:Cap badge images|Cap badge images]].

For regiments serving in India, when a regiment was to return to England, the men were given the opportunity to 'volunteer for' (join) another British Army regiment in India. The view seems to have been "A trained soldier in India is worth five recruits, and that soldier, when he is brought home, is not worth anything."<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=Ybk_AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA4 Page 4] ''The Regimental Companion: Containing the Pay, Allowances and Relative Duties of Every Officer in the British Service, Volume 3'' by Charles James 7th edition, considerably enlarged 1811 Google Books</ref>As an example, when the [[96th Regiment of Foot]] was ordered home in September 1854, a ‘great number of men’ volunteered for the [[32nd Regiment of Foot|32nd foot]], thirty volunteered for the [[43rd Regiment of Foot|43rd]], while twenty-two volunteered for the [[74th Regiment of Foot|74th Highlanders]].<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/36/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations, or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 36 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> However, when transferring to another unit, the soldiers were treated as new recruits, and lost any rank they had, reverting to the rank of a private,<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/fromenglandtoant00tyrrrich#page/38/mode/2up ''From England to the Antipodes & India - 1846 to 1902, with startling revelations or 56 years of my life in the Indian Mutiny, Police & Jails''], page 38 by Isaac Tyrell (1904) Archive.org</ref> although it appears likely that in practice they were promoted again reasonably quickly.

===Locating a regiment===
There are many ways to find out locations at which a regiment was stationed. More labourious methods include tracking through the muster rolls, army lists or station lists published in newspapers. Many of our regiment articles include a timeline of major stations.
*The archived website Regiments.org provides information about regimental deployments, which can range from general to specific. See [[British Army#Other 2|External Links - Other, below]]. Additionally individual Fibiwiki regimental pages generally include links to relevant regimental pages from Regiments.org.

The British Army were involved in numerous wars, campaigns and battles in India and the surrounding region. The Fibiwiki has a [[Chronological list of wars and campaigns]].

*To browse wars in the region, see the [[:Category:Wars and Campaigns|Wars and Campaigns]] category.
*To browse battles, see the [[:Category:Battles|Battles]] category.

==Enlistment in India==
It was possible for a man born in India to enlist in the British Army in India, a fact to be considered when researching. Enlistment was possible for men with European parents, or [[Anglo Indian|Eurasian]] men of fair complexion―those whose looks allowed them to ‘pass’ as white.<ref> [https://international-journal-of-anglo-indian-studies.org/index.php/IJAIS/article/view/71 Loyalty, Parity, and Social Control-The Competing Visions on the Creation of an ‘Eurasian’ Military Regiment in late British India] by Satoshi Mizutani ''The International Journal of Anglo-Indian Studies'' Volume 10, No. 1, 2010</ref>

There are some early 1800s references to mixed race soldiers, mainly musicians, with 'black' complexions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100922100136/http://www.wellingboroughrec.org.uk/blackh/blackarm.htm "Black Soldiers in Northamptonshire Regiments of the British Army"] by John Ellis wellingboroughrec.org.uk , now archived.</ref> There is one reference to an Anglo Indian Boy Trumpeter in the [[Royal Artillery]] c 1936<ref> Pages 122-123, ''Pick up your Parrots and Monkeys: The Life of a Boy Soldier in India'' by William Pennington 2003. Now [https://archive.org/details/pickupyourparrot0000penn/mode/2up available online] Archive.org Books to Borrow/Lending Library.</ref>
===Enlistment and birth in other overseas British Empire countries===
When researching, keep in mind that similar to the situation in India, it was also possible for men from other countries to enlist when regiments were stationed in their countries.<ref> Rootsweb Australia Message Board 19 October 2004 post [http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.oceania.australia.general/4184/mb.ashx?pnt=1 Chelsea Pensioners - soldiers with an Australian connection] It includes details of two men who were born in Australia and served in the Madras Artillery</ref> Men whose fathers were in the British Army could be born anywhere in the world the British Army was stationed.

===Indians in the British Army===
There were a limited number of Indians who were part of the British Army. C 1911, there were Indian soldiers serving in the Royal Artillery as drivers, and native gunners in ammunition columns serving as wagon-men. <ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/armiesofindia00macmuoft#page/182/mode/1up Page 182] ''The Armies of India'' described by Major G F MacMunn (Painted by Major Lovett) 1911 Archive.org</ref> During the [[First World War]], there are Medal Index Card references to Lascars in the Royal Artillery, this rank was also known as a [[Gun Lascar]]. In 1924, [[Mountain Artillery|Indian Mountain/Pack Batteries]] became Batteries in the Royal Artillery, which was the situation until 1939 when the Indian Mountain Batteries were transferred from the Royal Artillery to the Indian Regiment of Artillery.
 During the [[First World War]] there are also references to Lascars in the Inland Water Transport, Royal Engineers.
 There were Indian and Burmese drivers and artificers in 1023 and 1024 Mechanical Transport Companies [[Royal Army Service Corps|ASC]], raised in Burma for service in Mesopotamia.
 From c 1921, there were Indian Mechanical Transport Companies, which were part of the [[Royal Army Service Corps]], until subsequently transferred to the Indian Army.
====Indian Platoon, British Army Infantry Regiment====
From early 1922 , shortly after the introduction of the Vickers Machine Guns into Infantry Battalions<ref name=Plat>capricorn. [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/262278-indian-platoon-british-army-regiment-in-india/?do=findComment&comment=2912928 Indian Platoon, British Army Regiment (in India)] ''Great War Forum'' 15 July 2020. Retrieved 17 July 2020.</ref>, an Indian Platoon, or Support Company was attached to each British infantry regiment serving in India up until November 1932. Each such platoon comprised one Indian officer and 42 other ranks, their primary duty being to lead and care for the mule packs upon which guns and ammunition of the Machine-Gun Company were carried. However, these soldiers appear to have been regarded as part of the Indian Army. <ref>[https://www.dnw.co.uk/media/auction_catalogues/Medals%2027%20Sep%2016.pdf Item 97 (8345 Qmr. Hav. Basant Singh, Support Coy. 2-Welch R.)] www.dnw.co.uk Tuesday 27th September 2016.</ref> Note however there was a [[20th Regiment of Foot| Lancashire Fusiliers]] album which included 1934 in the title, which contained a photograph of the Indian Platoon, and a photograph of the Indian Machine Gun Platoon, [[53rd Regiment of Foot|1st Battalion King's Shropshire Light Infantry]] Karachi 1938,<ref name=Plat/> so at least some regiments contained these Platoons to a date after 1932.

There are various sources of information for finding out about a man in the British Army.

===Army Lists===
''Army List''s are useful if you are researching an officer. There were Monthly, Quarterly and Annual editions published. Some of these were commercial publications, while some were official War Office publications, The official publications included ''Quarterly Army List''s from 1880 and ''Monthly Army List''s from August 1881. At least during the [[First World War]], only the Monthly Lists cover the officers in “battalion order”<ref> rflory [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/228278-army-list-copies-at-kew/?do=findComment&comment=2267381 Army List - copies at Kew?] ''Great War Forum'' 28 May 2015. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref>, but this listing probably appeared in earlier publications also. ''Quarterly Army List''s only list regular, career officers and not others such as temporary officers and territorial officers who are to be found in the ''Monthly Army List''s.<ref>rflory. [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/236726-army-list-lookup/?do=findComment&comment=2369451 Army List lookup], posts 4 and 10. ''Great War Forum'' 26 February 2016. Retrieved 22 May 2018.</ref> The ''Monthly Army List''s are available on the open shelves at the National Archives and major libraries, (but date ranges may be unclear). Based on library catalogues, Bodleian Libraries University of Oxford, and the National Library of Scotland may have the best collections of ''Monthly Army List''s.

For British Library holdings, including regimental and regional lists, from 1642, see the BL guide [https://www.bl.uk/britishlibrary/~/media/subjects%20images/government%20publications/pdfs/service-list-army-navy.pdf?la=en "Service Lists for the Army, Navy and Air Force"].

For at least some war periods a Confidential or "Security Edition" was also published with known Monthly editions for August 1939 (available online) and September 1939, and it seems possible that ''Monthly List''s may have been continued after May 1940, to 1943, solely on a Confidential basis.<ref>From a comment in the British Library catalogue UIN: BLL01001094682 .</ref>

=====Online records=====
Genealogy websites such as [[findmypast]] and Ancestry, mentioned in the following sections, are pay websites. The basic subscription levels do '''not''' provide access to military records. Findmypast requires at least a Plus level of subscription for military records, while Ancestry requires at least a Premium level of subscription for military records, and additionally requires a higher level subscription for access to some military images. Generally these websites provide free access for a limited number of days during the year. Depending where you live you may be able to access such websites for free at a library near you. See [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips - Access some subscription websites with a Library Card]]. Access to such sites, including fold3, is also available at [[FamilySearch Centres]].

Where a record series appears on both findmypast, and Ancestry there may be differences in transcriptions of names which will affect the Search results. If you cannot initially find a record, it is suggested you try searching on both websites, and in addition on FamilySearch, a free website. Details of some of the military records on the latter site may be found under findmypast, below.

A researcher advised that Army service record images on findmypast are usually much better quality and Ancestry's service records may be poorly indexed, however Ancestry has the advantage that you can scroll to the records immediately before and after, which could be relevant.<ref>Wade, Andy.

 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea Pensioners' Service Records, 1760-1913]. The database description states that it includes index records from WO 97, WO 119, WO 121, WO 122, WO 131, but the associated browse images linked from the webpage appear to be for WO97 only. The index records include name, place of birth and estimated date of birth.
 [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: Discharge Documents of Pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122)]. Note that the latter title is inaccurate, as WO 122 records are for the period 1816-1817 only. The index records include name, birth and place, and date of discharge.
 To view related images, you can search on [[findmypast]], and view the images on findmypast. This will be the most convenient option for most people. Alternatively you can access the images as digitised microfilm at a FamilySearch Family History Centre, see '''[[FamilySearch Centres]]'''.
 These record images are also available through the FamilySearch catalogue, where the individual digitised microfilms may be described: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea pensioners' service records, 1760-1913 [WO 97<nowiki>]</nowiki>]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: discharge documents of pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122) and in addition WO 119, WO 121, WO 131 records]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/254431 Probably WO 119, although not stated)]. From these catalogue entries, it is clear that the FamilySearch databases of Index records cover less records than the digital microfilms available through the FamilySearch catalogue. Note however, the digitised microfilms may be selected records only from the particular record series, not the entire National Archives record series.

FamilySearch also contains the collection [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2125045 United Kingdom, World War I service records, 1914-1920] consisting of WO 363 and WO 364 index records and images. These images are now available on your '''home computer''' (since c 2019/03; previously only viewable at a FamilySearch Centre or Affiliate Library).

'''Fold3'''
 [https://www.fold3.com/browse/1/ Fold3: All Databases].
 One of the databases is titled "UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admission And Discharge Records" with constituent records [1] Royal Hospital, Chelsea: Disability and Royal Artillery Out-Pensions. This record set only contains one piece. [2] "WO 116: Disability and Out-Pensions, Admissions", whose index records are available on Ancestry, refer above. Records to piece 165 (TNA last record WO 116/252); [3] 'WO 117: Length of Service Pensions, Admission Books. Records to piece 77 ; [4] WO 121: Discharge Documents of Pensioners. Records to piece 257; [5] WO 122: Discharge Documents, Foreigners' Regiments" Records to piece 14. The latter record series do not appear to be indexed on Ancestry. Note, not all pieces may be included.
 The fold3 database "Ireland, Royal Hospital Kilmainham Pensioner Discharge Documents" in addition to the WO 119 records indexed by Ancestry, also includes the database "Royal Hospital, Kilmainham: Pension Admissions", thought to be from WO 118.
 Note: WO 117 records are available as a free download from the National Archives website, refer below, and at least some WO 119, WO 121 and WO122 records are available on findmypast, refer above.

Fold3 contains a category [https://www.fold3.com/publication/933/military-books/browse Military Books] (In the Search use the search term "Military Books", which contains many online Naval & Military Press reprint books relating to both the British Army and the Indian Army. There are also additional titles in the War categories catalogued under the actual title, and a category Australia Military Book Collection, which covers varying periods periods, which appear to be original scans from "Gould Genealogy and History"/[https://www.gould.com.au/australian-and-states-military-collection/au0-u24/ "Australian and States Military Collection"]).

Fold3, an American company, generally provides free access for a limited number of days during the year, as an example 2019-2021 for a few days before and including "Memorial Day", a federal holiday in USA, the last Monday of May. (2021 free access for WW1 and WW2 records, and "Military Books" appears to have extended from c am Friday ET (Eastern Time) (being UTC−05:00; UTC = Greenwich Mean Time) to 11.59 pm ET Monday). 2020 free access for British records, including online books due to VE Day 8 May, with probable free dates 4-10 May (Monday-Sunday). However c October 2020 due to website changes, it is not clear whether Military Books are still considered British records.

'''Update'''. Following the 2021 purchase by Ancestry of the pay website Forces War Records, it appears that many/all? of the non-american records from Fold3 also now are available on Forces War Records, probably released late March 2023. From the [https://uk.forceswarrecords.com Home page], scroll to the bottom of the page and select Browse Records. Then scroll down the list of datasets to the required record set, including "Military Books", as available on Fold3, but possibly a smaller database. Forces War Records also includes a free dataset "Historical Documents Library", which however requires registration to view the books etc in it.

=====Kilmainham Pensioners=====
The records online at findmypast now include those men discharged through the Kilmainham Hospital in Ireland, as "British Army Pensioners - Kilmainham, Ireland 1783-1822". These records are held under TNA reference [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14327?v=r WO 119], and are similar to the Chelsea Pensioner records WO 97, above.

There are other records for Kilmainham , not digitised by findmypast, under [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14326?v=r WO 118] “Registers of in- and out- pensioners of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham”. In-pensioners were admitted until 1922.

**The book ''British Army Pensioners Abroad, 1772-1899'' by Norman K. Crowder includes all British Army pensioners who retired to any place outside of Great Britain for which records are available (1772-1899).

The records include "Register of men discharged without pension", 1884 to 1887. Although the catalogue does not mention this, there are many records of men leaving the army in India under the heading "Nominal list of men discharged by the Commander-in-Chief in India." As the register provides name, regimental number, rank, corps, date and cause of discharge, attestation date (and a few other administration details) it is an invaluable resource for those not able to find these details elsewhere.

These records are included in the National Archives catalogue entry [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C537 Records of the Royal Chelsea and Kilmainham Hospitals]. The latter hospital was in Ireland. This category of records also includes

An interesting series of selected records is [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C11584?v=r '''PIN 71''': Selected War Pensions Award Files for Service Prior to 1914]. This series consists of personal case files on disablement pensions arising from service in the Army or Navy before the First World War and case files concerning widows of such servicemen. The files contain medical records and details of place of birth, age, names of parents and siblings, religion, physical attributes, marital and parental status. The series appears to consist of approximately 6,300 individual files which are searchable by name online on the [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/ Discovery catalogue]. The actual files however are not available online.

Service and pension records from '''World War 1''' from the National Archives are available on the pay sites findmypast and Ancestry, refer above.

====Muster rolls====
Unlike those of the presidency armies, muster rolls for British Army regiments stationed in India are not at the British Library but are instead at [[The National Archives]] at Kew in London.

Refer [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]], below, in particular the linked webinar "Army Musters".

The majority of the Muster records up to '''1878''' are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C14223?v=h '''WO 12'''], including [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C52579?v=h '''Cavalry'''] and [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C88062?v=h '''Infantry'''], with Royal Artillery muster records in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C14221 '''WO 10''']. The catalogue describes the records as:
<blockquote>"...a comprehensive means of establishing dates of enlistment, movements throughout the world, and of discharge or death. The first entry may show age on enlistment. An entry on the form "Men becoming non-effective", sometimes to be found at the end of each quarter's musters, shows the birthplace, trade, and date of enlistment of any soldier discharged or dead during the quarter. From about 1868, at the end of each muster, may be found a Marriage Roll, which enumerates wives and children for whom married quarters were provided." </blockquote>
[[Image:72nd Married Roll 1877 (close up).JPG |right|thumb|325px| ''Detail from a 1877 Married Roll'']]
An 1877 example of data from a Marriage Roll can be seen in the image on the right.

From '''1878 to 1898''', all muster rolls are in [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=C14227 '''WO 16''']. The majority of the records for the years 1878 to 1888 contain detailed pay lists with names. From 1888 onwards (WO 16/2917-3049) the series consists of company muster rolls only, and these do not contain pay lists. From about 1890, the muster rolls generally are only for men at Depots, and recruits, and do not generally include Battalions overseas.<ref> See National Archives webinar "Army musters – more than just accounts", around 14:30 min., above in [[British Army#National Archives Guides|National Archives Guides]]</ref>

The Muster Rolls for the 63rd Regiment of Foot in the period 1819-1840 are known to contain Officers names<ref>Tilley, Megan [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031005859/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=87403 Troopships] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 3 July 2017, archived. </ref>, but generally the rolls are of enlisted men.

Muster roll records are unfortunately NOT available on [[LDS]] microfilms. If you are a FIBIS member and are unable to visit Kew, the [http://www.fibis.org/research/ FIBIS Research team] should be able to assist.

'''Please note that muster roll records may be missing for some Regiments and periods''', in India and generally. For example, there are virtually no muster roll records for the Royal Artillery in India.

===India Office military records at the British Library===
For a comprehensive description of sources available in the India Office Records, see Peter Bailey's article in ''[[FIBIS Journal]]'' 13.

There is a small collection of India Office records at the [[British Library]] called British Army Records '''IOR/L/MIL/15''' 1806-1930 ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3#1-3 catalogue entry] which includes links to subgroups including British Army: '''British troops embarked for India''' [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-1&cid=1-3-15#1-3-15 '''IOR/L/MIL/15/42-46'''] 1871-1889).
 '''Update''': The latter records are available<ref>[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/british-army-embarkation-lists-1871-1889 British Army Embarkation Lists, 1871-1889] Findmypast database.</ref> on [[Findmypast]] (pay website), located in Military, Armed Forces & Conflict/Other Wars & Conflicts, (added 9 July 2021).

There are also reference books from the Military Department Library relating to the British Army '''IOR/L/MIL/17/1''' ([http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-2_1&cid=1-1-1#1-1-1 catalogue entry]), including Army Lists for the British Army, apart from publications specifically relating to the British Army in India.

Up until the early 1860s, a British man, or man of British descent could be a soldier/officer in one of the [[Presidency Armies]] in India. These were separate from the British Army, instead consisting of regiments formed by the [[East India Company]] and under their control. Many men from those Armies then transferred to the British Army, so if you have a reference to a man in the British Army in India in the 1860s, he may well be one of those who transferred. You may be able to locate him in the records of one of the Presidency Armies, which are to be found at the British Library, see [[Presidency Armies]] for an overview, and [[Bengal Army]], [[Madras Army]], or [[Bombay Army]] for details.

===Ecclesiastical returns===
If the man married, had children or died out on the Sub-continent then records of these occurences can often be found in the India Office [[Church records]]. However, some regimental chaplains only filed their BMDs with the [[General Register Office]] in London. The British Army Overseas Indexes can be found in genealogical libraries, the National Archives and searched on various websites including findmypast.com and familyrelatives.com. Certificates of these army returns can then be obtained from the GRO by ordering them [http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates online]. For more details refer '''[[Chaplains Returns]]'''.

Note that if a record is available both in the [[Church records]] and in the [[General Register Office]] records, the latter may contain more information, at least for some time periods. By way of example, in 1903 the additional information available for a marriage record was the nationalities of the groom and bride, and the occupations of the fathers of the groom and bride.

===Cemetery records===

====WW1 Casualty Lists====
In its military sense, the term "casualty" includes all those who are killed in action or who die of wounds, as well as those who are wounded, listed as missing, or taken prisoner of war.<ref>
[https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/definitions/casualties Casualty: definition] Australian War Memorial website.</ref>

WW1 Casualty Lists were initially published on a daily basis in newspapers, but WO original lists no longer appear to exist. They were then published weekly (on a Tuesday) by HMSO, as ''War Office Weekly Casualty List'' no.1-48 (7 Aug.1917 - 2 July 1918), and later as ''Weekly Casualty List (War Office & Air Ministry)'' no.49-83 (9 July 1918 - 4 March 1919), available at some libraries.

Daily lists may be found in online newspaper databases such as ''The [London] Times Digital Archive'', for access see [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips]], and ''The Scotsman'' in Scotland, the latter initially all casualties but later limited to Scots related.

====Censuses====
=====1911 England and Wales Census=====
British Army personnel in India, together with their families appeared for the first time in an England and Wales Census in 1911, taken on the night of Sunday 2 April 1911. The 1911 Census is available on the pay websites [[findmypast]], Ancestry and perhaps other pay sites. This [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C90811 National Archives] catalogue entry shows the regiments (overseas and Channel Islands) that were included in the 1911 Census. The items for India, (or the Indian Army out of India) (17 in total) are RG 14/34978-34992, 34995, 34997. However, it is probable there were other regiments in India at this time. Note however, there are is at least one known instance of a soldier and his family known to be in the British Army in India at the time of the census, whose names do not appear in the census, another indication that the data may not be complete. (A GWF topic discusses some issues.<ref>Guest (the late Martin Gillott) [https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/244538-1911-census-demographics-regular-battalions/?do=findComment&comment=2460719 1911 Census Demographics - Regular Battalions] ''Great War Forum'', page 2, 7 November, 2016 onwards.

The 1911 Census also includes similar information for other British Army overseas bases, and returns from ships of the Royal Navy at sea and in ports in England, Wales, Ireland but not Scotland, and abroad. For ships at sea on the census date, the next port of call determined into which category the records were placed.

Some regiments published a regular regimental journal which can be a valuable source of information. Examples are ''St George’s Gazette'', journal of the Northumberland Fusiliers,(previously [[5th Regiment of Foot]]) published from 1883 to 1968, and ''The Highland Light Infantry Chronicle'', journal of the Highland Light Infantry (previously [[71st Regiment of Foot]]), published quarterly from 1893 to 1958.
 Whether a journal existed may be included in the regimental information available on the website Regiments.org (refer below).
 For possible library sources, see [[British Army#Regimental histories|Regimental histories, above]].
 A limited number of journals are available online, including

== Conditions and activities==
=== Enlistment term===
From the end of the Napoleonic Wars until 1847, men were enlisted for twenty-one years, practically for life. From 1847 enlistment was for ten years, later increased to twelve; with a pension after twenty one years for extended service. From 1870, as part of the Caldwell Reforms, “short service” was introduced, where men enlisted for a period of time in the Army, the balance of time in the reserves (total twelve years). The standard term varied over time, including six and six, seven and five, three and nine, nine and three years, <ref> grumpy.

===Wives and families travelling to India===
For soldiers deployed from Britain to overseas garrisons only a proportion of men were allowed to be accompanied by their wives. For most countries the proportion was six wives per one hundred soldiers. However for India, and Australia, the ratio was twelve wives per one hundred men, including NCOs. The number of children was unlimited.<ref>Fuller, Tony [https://web.archive.org/web/20201031010929/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=12906952 Women on ships – again] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 11 August 2000, archived. (The author was researching at the Tower Hamlets Library).</ref> These wives and children were provided with food, accomodation and transportation by the Army and were classified as "on the strength".
