==History==
*The church records for churches located in the British cantonment areas are part of the Madras Returns, now available on the commercial site [[findmypast]], but possibly other church records can be found in the Indian States N5 Series at the British Library from 1890, now also available on [[findmypast]].
**As an example, an 1871 Marriage was noted to be in the Madras Ecclesiatical Returns at the [[British Library]], indicating these Returns are a source of records.<ref>Charles Partridge married 13 September 1871 in Secunderabad, Madras, India [https://www.familysearch.org/ Family Search] LDS film 521859</ref>
*[[LDS]] film: Names from Secunderabad Cemetery, Hyderabad, India ca. 1820-1990 - film 795981 Item 6 which whikm)ch is a microfilm of an unnamed “manuscript (photocopy)” - (but also note transcriptions in FIBIS Resources above).The [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/706759 catalogue entry] however shows that although digitised, this record is only viewable as a microfilm, which should be available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. A '''possible''' source of some of the contents of the record is the book ''List of Inscriptions on Tombs or Monuments in H.E.H. the Nizam's Dominions : with biographical notes'' by O.S. Crofton. 1941. (Available at the [[British Library]] UIN: BLL01001781826).
