The Presidency of Madras mainly included the present-day states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

In the index to baptisms, marriages and burials, the volumes are sometimes designated like this :

The letter 'O' represents Ommissions and the figure is the volume number. Similarly, the letter 'C' represents Corrections. The figure is the volume of Corrections.
