Records available in the British Library India Office holdings include:

Please note that the Registers of Madras Army European Soldiers IOR/L/MIL/11/101-108 1786-1860 commenced in 1831 and only contain men still serving in the Army at that date. If a man left the Army prior to 1831 for any reason, including death, he will not appear in these records. The Muster records are an alternative source of information.
The LDS (Mormons) have filmed many of these records as listed in this LDS Library catalogue entry, after a keyword search for Madras Army Records
