**British Armed Forces, Roman Catholic Registers, covering 1836-1975 (introduced 2017/11). There is a related Browse database. The registers were created by the Bishopric of the Forces, the religious officials of the Roman Catholic Church responsible for the pastoral care of Roman Catholics in the military, and are from The Scottish Catholic Archives. Includes locations in the UK as well as bases in Cairo, Cyprus, Malta, and more.

** Previously there was a dataset called "British Overseas Marriages" 1818-2005, included some transcriptions of marriages at St John's Calcutta and, in spite of the dataset title, appear to be from the late 1700s/early 1800s. These were transcriptions, elsewhere <ref>W., Hugh [http://hughw36.blogspot.com.au/2008_08_31_archive.html Genealoge] September 06, 2008. Retrieved 8 January 2015</ref> stated to be from records at the [[Society of Genealogists]], and were very limited in information. Only the year of marriage was given, and there were no details of the spouse. See [[Calcutta]] for '''possible''' sources of these records. There were also records from other counties in this dataset. However, this no longer exists as a separate dataset, but appears to have been incorporated into the British Armed Forces and Overseas Marriages dataset above, as British Overseas Marriages (Cliff Webb Collection).

** Records relating to BMD events at sea have now been incorporated into British Armed Forces and Overseas Births, Marriages, Deaths. (3 datasets), refer above.

** A dataset called "Probate Calendars Of England & Wales 1858-1959", located in the sub-category "Wills & probate". For more details, see [[Wills, Administrations, Probate and Inventories]].

**[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/asia-far-east-directories-and-chronicles-1833-1941 Asia, Far East Directories & Chronicles 1833-1941], with a [https://www.findmypast.com/articles/asia-far-east-directories-and-chronicles-1833-1941-titles Publication list], introduced 2021/12/10. The database '''is''' searchable by name. An examination of a sample of three volumes indicated they were all digitised by others (2 by Google Books and one by National Library of Scotland) and were available elsewhere, and it is suspected that the whole database is similar, and does not include any "new" digitisations. The Findmypast viewer for this database is slow, and it would be quicker to view a volume elsewhere. See [[China]] for alternative sources.

From 1809 onward, the title was ''British Imperial Calendar'', or some variant, and the publications which were scanned are probably located in the the Library at the National Archives. At 2020/06, the years from 1809 are '''missing''' 1844-46,75, 80,83, 85-86; 1919, 21-24, 26, 42, 44-45, from the database, and it is not known whether all Parts have been digitised. "The Imperial Calendars provide a valuable resource for tracing the whereabouts and careers of persons employed in various posts in the public sphere from the 1800s to 1973". "The later calendars from the 20th century evolved to include the Civil Service List and additional departments such as Home Office and Treasury".<ref>[https://www.findmypast.co.uk/blog/new/british-nicaraguan-records Fridays] Findmypast blog 19 June 2020.</ref> The early calendars include persons serving in the East India Company and possibly there may be later references to persons in India. Also includes at least some military references.
