When a child was baptised, sometimes the mother was described as a ‘a native woman’


The following views are mainly taken from the India List

  • The term’ native woman’ applied to Hindu or tribal women. More details in this link
  • There was also a term ‘Bunnoo native woman’. Bunnoo or Banoo or Bunnoa is an area in Eastern Afghanistan, but a researcher advised more often the term implied a Muslim (of any northern origin).
  • This link discussed a possible Persian/Parsee connection
  • If there was a marriage in a church, the wife had become a Christian. More details in this link
  • This link showed how one researcher found details of an Indian mother from her son's school record.
