==Records==
Marriages conducted by Registrar commenced in 1852 and are included in the India Office ‘N’ series - 'Returns of Registrar Marriages in Bengal, Madras, Bombay and Burma' '''IOR/N/11'''. The LDS have not filmed these records so they can only be viewed at the [[British Library]]. At least one of the records has been transcribed by the British Library (the number of the transciptions is unknown) and may be searched on [http://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/Home.aspx India Office Family History Search]
It will be noted that after 1910 when all parties to marriage were shown in the usual 'N' indexes in Alphabetical order, the maintenance of the Registrars' Marriages Index was deemed unnecessary and all marriages thereafter appeared within the usual indexes.
===FIBIS resources===
*[http://www.search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&source_class=102 Register Office Marriage Index 1852-1911] - a complete transcription of the '''indexes''' to the registrar marriage records is on the FIBIS database. As previously mentioned, the LDS have not filmed these records so if an index reference is found in the FIBIS database, the full record can only be found at the [[British Library]], but at least one record has been transcribed by the British Library.
