→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]].
