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. If you can provide the man's name and regiment, and approximate date the GRO will search their records. Email the [[General Register Office|GRO]] with GQ in the subject header, eg "GQ Regimental Marriage Registers", to avoid receiving an automated reply
More details are available in the book ''Tracing Your Ancestors in The National Archives '' by Amanda Bevan, (7th edn, National Archives Kew, 2006), Chapter 8 - Births, marriages and deaths of Britons overseas or in the armed services. Available at the [[British Library]]
The [[LDS]] have also microfilmed some of the 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]].
