Madras Ecclesiastical Returns - Omissions and Corrections 1777-1884
These records are from the India Office Records at the British Library and are included in the digitized records available on the commercial site findmypast
From 1885 to 1890 a check was made of the original ecclesiastical registers of baptisms, marriages and burials with the records at the office in Madras. This record gives the omissions and corrections.
It appears that currently (November 2011) these records are not included in the database on the LDS FamilySearch website,[1], so to view these records, it will be necessary to look at either the original records at the British Library, or to view the microfilms.
The information is arranged by towns.
The Presidency of Madras mainly included the present-day states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
In the index to baptisms, marriages and burials, the volumes are sometimes designated like this :
The letter 'O' represents Ommissions and the figure is the volume number. Similarly, the letter 'C' represents Corrections. The figure is the volume of Corrections.
