It is strongly advised that you consider a search for your ancestor here as many areas of interest are covered.

Note also entry to British Library Archive search shown above as, in some cases, this will give additional scope.:[http://wwwdiscovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2aadvanced-search/results.aspxr?tab_aq=burial&_cr1=2IOR%2FL%2FMIL%2F7&Page_dss=1range&ExactPhrase_hb=British+Library,+Asia,+Pacific+and+Africa+Collectionsoth&Places_nrar=59 Discovery Advanced search].
