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.[1]
The term 'native woman’ will not be seen in marriage records, as all marriages were between Christians.
There was also a term ‘Bunnoo native woman’. Bunnoo or Banoo or Bunnoa was an area in Eastern Afghanistan, according to Thornton's 1844 Gazetteer, but more often the term implied a Muslim (of any northern origin). (Bannu District is now in Pakistan.)
