==Birth and death registration==
'''Main article:''' [[Birth and death registration]]'''
Some birth and death registration did occur in British India. It commenced in the 1860s but was only compulsory in some areas, with other places adopting voluntary registration. The records are obtained from Local Municipalities, therefore researchers must know where a birth occurred. Some people born in India have copies of their birth registration. Presumably these were obtained some time ago and it is not known whether these documents could be obtained currently, or how far back existing records go.
