==Nafziger Collection documents==
Please note that some years do not contain information relating to the [[Royal Artillery]].
Although there does not appear to be any information relating to British troops in India after 1904 in the Nafziger Collection documents, there is '''information available prior to 1862'''. There is a [http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p4013coll11/id/1277/rec/3 Finding Aid] (link to a pdf download which depending on your browser you may need to locate in your downloads folder), (or see External links below) to assist in navigating the titles available for viewing, and the links to those titles.
The Finding Aid is Searchable. There are title headings such as ''Stations of British Troops in 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.

==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]].
