Except for the few short years when the East India Company was in control (1796-1802) records for Ceylon will not be found in the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]], but at [[The National Archives]] at Kew. For example, the description and succession books of the Ceylon Rifles covering years 1809-1872 are held under reference W025/638-641 (these include officers services) and reference WO23/158 includes the admission books for the Ceylon Rifles and Gun Lascars for the period May 1868-Sept 1876. Personal data may also be held amongst the National Archive's Administrative Records of [[Ceylon ]] (Sri Lanka)].
Some birth marriage and death information may be obtained by writing to Registrar General's Office, New Secretariat, Maligawatta, Colombo 10, Sri Lanka.
