==Other National Archives records==
Some marriage and baptismal information for Royal Artillery soldiers and their family, including India related details, may be found in the National Archives series WO 69. Some of this information has been transcribed and may be found by entering the surname and “WO69” in the National Archives [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk Discovery Search]. Many of the records in this series were destroyed during the Second World War, so the records are incomplete. Also see [[Royal Artillery]] for more information.
 
== Other Archives==
British Armed Forces, Roman Catholic Registers have been digitised from The Scottish Catholic Archives and are available on findmypast. See "External links", below.

*[http://www.familyrelatives.com/index.php Familyrelatives.com] contains the Overseas Indexes which include images from the British Army Overseas Indexes which you can access for free, (even though most other records on the site require a subscription). These are viewable images, which have not been transcribed to search. The site requires an up to date Adobe Flash (Flash 11 or later) plug-in to view the images. First you must log in (with first time registration required), from the Home Page, then select 'Search' (from the bar across the top of the page) and then 'Overseas Records'. Then select the database you are interested in. '''Note, some pages from the indexes were missing at one time, so the database may not be complete''' (missing Army marriage pages were noted). Note: this website became inactive late July 2015, but appears to have returned (c February 2016).
*[http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=2114&id=201071 Findmypast] contains three separate Index databases called '''British Nationals Armed Forces Births, Marriages, Deaths''', all of which contain overseas and some UK events, which include the British Army Overseas Indexes, (located within BMD). Some Royal Air Force index records are also included. There is a charge to search, however the findmypast records have the advantage that at least some, (possibly all) indicate the relevant regiment. In addition, the database contains indexes for births in the U.K. and overseas, 1761-1924, taken from regimental registers, including births in India. The Armed Forces Deaths database also includes what may be called GRO War Deaths or GRO War Dead.<ref>War Deaths, including World Wars I and II, and the Boer War. [http://web.archive.org/web/20051223043104/www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/research/searchingforoverseasrecords/index.asp Searching for overseas records] GRO, now an archived web page.</ref> As noted above, WO97 records are also available.
