== Ecclesiastical records (‘N’ Series in the India Office Records) ==
'''Main article: [[Church records]]'''
===(‘N’ Series in the India Office Records)===
The [[East India Company]] established and paid for Anglican dioceses and parishes in all areas as they came under its control. Each chaplain/parish priest minister was required to establish registers in which to record BMDs. In addition, he had to send duplicates to the presidency ecclesiastical authorities. The latter have been collated and sent to London and are now in the care of the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]] in their Asian & African Studies Reading Room. Ministers, priests and missionaries who were not employed by the East India Company were not obliged to send these returns, however some did so on a voluntary basis but these records are available to a lesser extent.
Microfilmed copies of all the records are available for public inspection and indexes are available on the open shelves of the APAC, broken down by Presidency, alphabetically and by year.
The N series contains Anglican and some Catholic and Non-Conformist records.
'''These The majority of these records have been digitised and are available online through the commercial site [http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=2114&id=201071 findmypast]'''.

Licences were issued by the Archbishop of Canterbury and other Bishops, and the records are called Marriage Allegations or Bishops’ Marriage Allegations. These records have been transferred to the London Metropolitan Archives and are now available online on the pay website Ancestry.
