'''Note that some India Office Records will not be found in the Findmypast database''', (for technical or other reasons) but may be found on [[IGI|FamilySearch]], as transcribed index records and digitised microfilms. Examples are some/all of the records from Madras: Baptisms, Marriages, Burials (Oct 1815-May 1818) IOR/N/2/6 [[IGI|FamilySearch]] microfilm 506957, and Madras: Roman Catholic Returns of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials (1838-1839) IOR/N/2/RC/1-2 [[IGI|FamilySearch]] microfilm 530008<ref>Glover, Jill. [https://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/hyperkitty/list/india@rootsweb.com/thread/220935/ KENNEDY/HILL Saga – Disappointment] ''Rootsweb India List'' 8 December 2015. Retrieved 1 July 2018.</ref> . Note that names may be '''transcribed incorrectly''' which will affect the Findmypast Search. If you cannot find a record you are looking for, cross check with records on Familysearch, or try a more general search on Findmypast. See "11 tips for searching", External links below.
For privacy reasons be aware that currently (2020/01/13) a limited transcription only is available with no digital images for births '''after 1919''', and for some births in 1919, where the baptism was after 1919, and for marriages '''after 1934'''. These dates have been increased since the original restrictions in place when the databases were introduced in 2014 (which were after 1914/1929), and over the immediate past years there has been an increase on an annual basis. Expanded details of these restricted records can be obtained from the [[British Library]], (payment required) or from FamilySearch microfilm/digitised microfilm, from (and see) [[FamilySearch Centres]], (available for free) which may however be geographically not feasible for some researchers. Also check whether there is a [[FamilySearch]] indexed record, which sometimes may contain more details than the Findmypast equivalent.
