Categories often cover a wide range of records. This is particularly true for those which might, at first glance, appear to relate only to [[church records]]. For example, the sections on births and baptisms also include such records as Addiscombe Cadets and Writer applications and those in the Deaths and Burials category show returns of death of uncovenanted civil servants and other officers which give details of family and property left by the deceased.
A full list of the records available in the British In India Collection on Find My Past findmypast can be found on the British Library website.
'''Note that some India Office Records will not be found in the findmypast database''', (for technical or other reasons) but may be found on [[IGI|FamilySearch]], as transcribed index records and microfilms. Examples are some/all of the records from Madras: Baptisms, Marriages, Burials (Oct 1815-May 1818) IOR/N/2/6 [[IGI|FamilySearch]] microfilm 506957 and Madras: Roman Catholic Returns of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials (1838-1839) IOR/N/2/RC/1-2 [[IGI|FamilySearch]] microfilm 530008.
