[[''Thacker's]] Bengal Directory'', published from 1864, was in 1885 renamed ''Thacker's Indian Directory '' and covered the whole of British India. Volumes for most years are available in the Asian and African Studies Reading Room at the [[British Library]] and the 1895 edition is available to purchase as a CD. It is a useful source for tracing Assistant Surgeons of both Military and Civil persuasions. For online editions see [[Directories online]], under the headings [[Directories online#Bengal Directory|Bengal Directory]], and [[Directories online#Thacker's Indian Directory|Thacker's Indian Directory]].

In addition [https://www.thegazette.co.uk/ The London Gazette] is a good source of information for promotions. This source is more relevant for the later periods.
Crawford’s ''Roll of the Indian Medical Service 1614-1930'' lists a few entries relating to the [[Madras Presidency]] in the very early years, probably prior to the establishment of the Subordinate Medical Department but none from the other Presidencies. The book is available as a [[LDS]] microfilm, with this library catalogue [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=287926&disp=Roll++of++the++Indian++Medical++Service%&columns=*,0,0 entry]. Index records and page images are also available on Ancestry (pay website).
There are mentions of students (Hospital Apprentices) in the Annual Report of the Madras Medical College. The [[British Library]] has reports from 1853 to 1887, missing 1854/1855. However, the 1854/55 report is in Appendix L of the report on Public Instruction in the Madras Presidency for 1854/55. Oxford University Bodleian Library also has a broken range of volumes to 1887. The following years are available online ( mainly Google Books):
