==Allen's Indian Mail==
==Allen's Indian Mail==
Where there are two volumes in a year, the index is generally in the first volume, although  there is no index for 1860, 1868 or 1872. The volume for January 1872 contains an index, but it is actually in respect of the year 1871.
The [http://fibis.ourarchives.online/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=791&s_id=103 FIBIS database] contains transcriptions of  birth, marriage and death notices from ''Allen's Indian Mail''.
 
The title initially,  in 1843 and 1844, was ''The Indian Mail''. The title from 1845 was ''Allen's Indian Mail'' which was subsequently designated Volume 3. This publication continued until 6 May 1891, when it was incorporated into ''The Homeward Mail from India, China and the East'', [[Newspapers and journals online#Homeward Mail from India, China and the East|see below]].
 
Where there are two volumes in a year, the index is generally at the front of the first volume, although  there is no index for 1860, 1862, 1868 (missing volume), 1872 and 1882. The volume for January 1872 contains an index, but it is actually in respect of the year 1871.
 
Volumes are from the Google Books and Internet Archive (Archive.org) websites.

*The ''Calcutta Gazette'' was one of the official newspapers of the Government of India and its provincial governments, where official information was ‘gazetted’. Available on the [[Online books# Digital Library of India|Digital Library of India]] website for the years 1846 and 1872 to post independence (broken series).

Theoretically the pdfs are searchable, but in practice do not appear to be.
The ''Calcutta Gazette'' became one of the official newspapers of the Government of India and its provincial governments, where official information was ‘gazetted’. It was first published 4 March 1784    as a newspaper titled ''The Calcutta Gazette and Oriental Advertiser''; from September 1791 to May 1815 titled ''The Calcutta Gazette''; June 1815 to March 1832 titled ''The Government Gazette''; from April 1832 resumed the title ''The Calcutta Gazette''. Initially the Government was not connected with the management or editorial policy of the newspaper, but used the newspaper as a medium for official notices etc. From April 1832, the publication ceased to be a newspaper, and became an official Government publication.

The FIBIS database contains transcriptions of birth, marriage and death notices from Allen's Indian Mail.

The title initially, in 1843 and 1844, was The Indian Mail. The title from 1845 was Allen's Indian Mail which was subsequently designated Volume 3. This publication continued until 6 May 1891, when it was incorporated into The Homeward Mail from India, China and the East, see below.

Where there are two volumes in a year, the index is generally at the front of the first volume, although there is no index for 1860, 1862, 1868 (missing volume), 1872 and 1882. The volume for January 1872 contains an index, but it is actually in respect of the year 1871.

Calcutta Gazette

The Calcutta Gazette became one of the official newspapers of the Government of India and its provincial governments, where official information was ‘gazetted’. It was first published 4 March 1784 as a newspaper titled The Calcutta Gazette and Oriental Advertiser; from September 1791 to May 1815 titled The Calcutta Gazette; June 1815 to March 1832 titled The Government Gazette; from April 1832 resumed the title The Calcutta Gazette. Initially the Government was not connected with the management or editorial policy of the newspaper, but used the newspaper as a medium for official notices etc. From April 1832, the publication ceased to be a newspaper, and became an official Government publication.

(Otherwise, in case the previous link becomes invalid, previously the procedure was from the Search, first click on E (for English) (however currently 2021/05/04 most of the website still remains in Tamil) at the top of the webpage, click on Periodicals, then use the search term Madras Courier. You should be presented with a list of thumbnail book covers. Hover your mouse to see the titles. Alternatively use the Advanced Search, 'Select Category' choose Periodicals and use the search term Madras Courier as the title. A box with Tamil text may appear, click on it and select English. A list of search results will be presented, currently 407 (as at 2020/04/03).

Searching by keywords does not appear to be successful. For a name search try a Google search: Name of interest site:tamildigitallibrary.in. Note however the underlying text may be poor quality, with small font size, so OCR searching may also be of poor quality.

As an example, marriage, birth and death notices were noted on the 2nd page of Volume XXV (25) Number 1249 September 13 1809.
Note the book reader seems more difficult to use than previously (as at 2021/05/04) and it was difficult to increase the text size sufficiently, even using the full screen option. It may be easier to download, however most of the website remains in Tamil, even when the English option is selected.
