In a fashion similar to Birth, marriage and death announcements in the newspapers of today, in the 19th century it was often the custom to make such announcements in the Domestic Occurrences section of publications. Accordingly, for British India, a significant number are to be found in newspapers/journals and almanacs/directories. It should be recognized that such announcements were often made some two years after the event.
A list of Directories online links to directories and almanacs available to read on sites such as Google Books. Quarterly and monthly publications are listed in Newspapers and journals online.
