When a child was baptised, sometimes the mother was described as '''‘a native woman'''’. The term 'native woman’ applied to Hindu or tribal women, and not to native Christians.<ref>Roberts, John E C [https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/overviewemails?findlistlistname=india &thread=2239564 Native Marriages] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 6 August 2009. Retrieved 21 November 2021</ref>
The term 'native woman’ will not be seen in marriage records, as all marriages were between Christians.
