→Listings of Apothecaries
Ian Poyntz's [http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~poyntz/India/directories.html website] has information on the holdings of Directories in many libraries around the world, including the British Library. If you have access to any of these volumes you may find additional lists of Apothecaries, or entries in the alphabetical list of residents, entries under the Mofussil Listing, or entries in the births, marriages or deaths sections. Quoting from Baxter’s Guide, this India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2010-01/1263998480 post] advises that "Lists of Apothecaries appear in Directories: Bengal, from 1815; Madras from 1862; Bombay, from 1832."
You can also try searching in [[Directories reading listonline|Directories]] and [[Newspapers and journals online| Journals]] available online for additional lists of apothecaries which may be available in the future, and also for birth, marriage and death entries, and entries relating to postings and promotion.
In addition [http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/ The London Gazette] is a good source of information for promotions.
