** 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 seems to exist exists as a separate dataset, so perhaps has but appears to have been incorporated into the British Armed Forces and Overseas Marriages dataset above, or possibly withdrawnas 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.
