*[http://home.att.net/~Local_Catholic/Catholic-India.htm Local Catholic Church History in India]. This is a terrific site by Ann Mensch which provides a wealth of information on all Indian Catholic dioceses, as well as some interesting links on Catholic family history.
*This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2009-12/1262183536 post] advises individual parish churches were obliged to send an annual copy to their Diocesan offices. These are known in the UK and elsewhere as "Bishop's Transcripts".
As long as the Diocesan records have not been destroyed, you will always find a copy there from every single parish church within that diocese. If you don’t get a result from the parish (where for instance, as in Burma, many have been destroyed) then write to the Bishop's secretary.
The same procedure is followed in the Anglican church, and the same reasoning applies
*This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2009-11/1258214986 post] gives details of a [marriage] Banns book at Roman Catholic churches. The example mentioned contained information additional to the marriage record.
* [http://www.britishempire.co.uk/article/churches/churchesofindia.htm Photos of Churches in India]. Stephen Luscombe has a fascinating website on the British Empire which includes, amongst other things, photos of former British churches in India. The whole site is worth exploring for general information on the British Empire.
