There are indexes in respect of the overseas registrations most commonly called the British Army Overseas Indexes.
These records were compiled by regimental chaplains and may also be duplicated within the regimental records. The Overseas Section of the [[General Register Office]] in Southport holds these volumes and the indexes can be viewed at the [[The National Archives]] (TNA). The FindmyPast [http://www.findmypast.com/helpadvice/knowledge-base/overseas-military/index.jsp link] also advises that the Overseas Section of the [[General Register Office[[ ]] also holds additional records of regimental marriages taking place between 1761 and 1924 that have never been indexed. As these additional records have never been indexed, they are not included in the data on FindMyPast or other websites.
The [[LDS]] have also microfilmed some of these indexes, as listed in this [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlehitlist&columns=*%2C0%2C0&keyword=officers%2C+soldiers%2C+%26+their+families%29++...+at+stations+abroad%2C&prekeyword=officers%2C+soldiers%2C+%26+their+families%29++...+at+stations+abroad%2C Library Catalogue entry] and you can order the microfiches and view them at [[Family History Centres]].
