With the passage of time, the BMD returns became increasingly included and therefore more likely to feature in the ‘N’ series of returns at the BL. Note, however, a number of marriages performed in the Church of Scotland feature in the [[Registrar marriages]], as explained in the link.
Some Church of Scotland Bombay church records and records for St Andrew's Church of Scotland, Madras may be found in [[LDS Microfilms of Church registers in India]], but it seems the records for St Andrew's Church of Scotland in Calcutta have not been filmed and are only obtainable from the church, refer [[Calcutta#Churches and missions|Calcutta-Churches and missions]]. St Andrew's Church in Calcutta also holds the Baptism and Marriage Registers and some other documents for Church of Scotland cantonment Churches throughout India, Ceylon, Burma and some Gulf stations.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130923172221/http://standrewschurch-kolkata.org/index.html Previous Home page] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130926204733/http://standrewschurch-kolkata.org/archive.html Archive] St. Andrew's Church.

Stephen Luscombe has a fascinating website on the British Empire which includes, amongst other things, photos of former British churches in India. The whole site is worth exploring for general information on the British Empire.
