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 [httphttps://archivermlarchives.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2009-08listindexes/1249564449 overview?findlist=india Native Marriages] ''Rootsweb India Mailing List'' 6 August 2009.

The term 'native woman’ will not be seen in marriage records, as all marriages were between Christians.
