**Census records may be useful for locating children at school in Britain, whose parents are in India. Census records are also available on Ancestry. Note: 1911 Census of Scotland is not included - this is available on ScotlandsPeople.
**This category also contains electoral registers which may be useful if you are tracing a person who has returned or immigrated to the UK. The main database is "England & Wales, Electoral Registers 1832-1932", although there are gaps in the records for various years, and not all constituencies are included (ongoing project). These records are displayed as pdf documents. There is also the associated dataset "England & Wales, Electoral Registers 1832-1932 Image Browse". Read the findmypast Search tips. There are also electoral registers on Ancestry.
*findmypast category "Newspapers, Directories & Social History/Directories & Almanacs", "British In India, Directories 1792-1948 Browse",<ref>[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/british-in-india-directories-1792-1948-browse British In India, Directories 1792-1948 Browse] findmypast.</ref> introduced 2018/05/18. Of the titles examined as a sample, all most were freely available elsewhere, (and in fact may be the same digital files), see the Fibiwiki pages [[Directories online]], [[Newspapers and journals online]] and [[Indian Army List online]], but one volume not seen elsewhere is ''Times Of India Bombay Directory, 1936''. Additionally, it is necessary to use the search, (or browse) to find the exact years of publication available. These publications are '''not''' currently searchable by name. The findmypast viewer for this database is slow, and it would be quicker to view a volume elsewhere.
