When a child was baptised, sometimes the mother was described as '''‘a native woman'''’.The term 'native woman’ applied to Hindu or tribal women, and not to native Christians.<ref>Roberts, John E C [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2009-08/1249564449 Native Marriages] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 6 August 2009. Retrieved 19 February 2015</ref> The term 'native woman’ will not be seen in marriage records, as all marriages were between Christians. There was also a term ‘Bunnoo native woman’. Bunnoo or Banoo or Bunnoa was an area in Eastern [[Afghanistan]], according to Thornton's 1844 Gazetteer, but more often the term implied a Muslim (of any northern origin). ([[Bannu District]] is now in Pakistan.)
