<br>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 (20212022/0306/1226) a limited transcription only is available with no digital images for births '''after 19211922''', and for some births in 19211922, where the baptism was after 19211922, and for marriages '''after 19361937'''. 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), (and currently also from FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries some of which , particularly genealogical societies, may charge a visitor fee) 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.

**'''2019'''/March/08, some records relating to endowment registers were added to the database "British India Office Deaths & Burials".
