:For privacy reasons be aware that currently (2020) a limited transcription only is available on findmypast with no digital images for births '''after 1919''', and for marriages '''after 1934'''. Currently there appear to be additional records added on an annual basis, although this has not been consistent in past years.
::Images of records after these dates can be obtained from digitised [[FamilySearch]] microfilm, viewable, for non-LDS Church members, at a [[FamilySearch Centres|FamilySearch Centre]] for free. The other option is to visit the British Library, or request a copy of the record (for which a charge applies) from the [[British Library]], which may be the preferred option if you a FamilySearch Centre is not geographically convenient for you.
*Many of the indexes have been previously transcribed by FIBIS Volunteers and are available in the [httpshttp://searchfibis.fibisourarchives.org/frontisonline/bin/index.php FIBIS Search database] under the heading Ecclesiastical Records.
*Enhanced indexes from the church records at the British Library were added in April 2010 to the LDS [[IGI|FamilySearch website]]. These are free to search and view but examination of the full record will give further information. There are some records which are '''not available on findmypast'''.
* See [[Cemeteries]] for details of monumental inscriptions in books, including books available online.
*''Bengal Past and Present: Journal of the Calcutta Historical Society'', available at the [[British Library]] has lists of baptisms, marriages and burials based on the original church registers in Calcutta, up to 1800. They are probably mostly covered by the Ecclesiastical Returns in the B.L., however there may be some additional entries which never made it to England (e.g. the ship carrying the returns to England was lost).
:Transcriptions from Registers of St John's, Calcutta by E W Madge as they appeared in ''Bengal Past and Present''. Each listing contains many pages of biographical notes. Some articles are available online, on the Digital Library of India website, or through the mirror editions on Archive.org. Other articles are available at the [[British Library]]. '''Note''': Records for Baptisms 1767-1777 have been transcribed and are available on the [http://searchfibis.fibisourarchives.org/frontisonline/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_dataset&id=1979&s_id=1064&sort=0&st=0&np=14&tn=412 FIBIS database] in the category Publications.
