→Military records at the National Archives
'''Pleae note that muster roll records may be missing for some Regiments and periods''', in India and generally. For example, there are virtually no muster roll records for the Royal Artillery in India.
Findmypast.co.uk has the online records [http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/military/indexes/1861-army-index '''Worldwide Army Index 1861'''] extracted from the National Archives April-June quarter Paylists held in WO 10 (Royal Artillery), WO 11 (Royal Engineers) and WO 12 (Cavalry, Guards, Infantry and other units) series War Office records, including men serving overseas.Searching the records is free, but charges apply to view the records, although they can be viewed for free at TNA (and other institutions with a FMP subscription). Note that soldiers of the East India Company Armies in 1861 would not appear in these records as these soldiers appear to have been transferred to the British Army after June 1861.
