It appears best to use the binoculars icon to search the The Finding Aidis Searchable. The search facility seems designed so that the words you enter only are found if they are next to each other, so you will need to use just one word such as ''India'', or use phrases which There are title headings such as ''Stations of British Troops in India'', (not Stations India) (available 1836-1904), ''British Regiments Serving in India'', (available 1816-1835), ''Distribution of the British Army'' (available 1836-1868, 1872, 1899-1903) ''Stations of the British Army'' (available 1869-1904). The latter two titles include British troops in India. Note that for some computers/browsers in the past it was not possible to search the Finding Aid, but this situation may have improved. If this is still the situation, "British Regiments Serving in India" 1816 is located on page 167. "Distribution of the British Army" 1836 is located on page 168. Alternatively use your internet Search engine with terms such as nafziger "Stations of the British Army" and a date.

==1911 England and Wales Census==
This [http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/browse/C11339188?v=r National Archives catalogue entry] shows the regiments in India which were included in the 1911 Census. The items (17 in total) are RG 14/34978-34992, 34995, 34997. It appears that there were additional regiments in India at the time which are not included in the list, so the census is not complete for British Army regiments, or British Army personnel in India. Searching the 1911 census data, on [[findmypast]] and Ancestry, and perhaps other sites, is generally free to search, but pay to view data. Note that for searching findmypast the "County" is Overseas Military. You may be able to access data for free at some institutions, see [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips - Access some subscription websites with a Library Card]].
