*Completed* British in India?

Postby grangers14 » Wed Jul 28, 2010 7:27 pm

Can you tell me if you would expect to find Birth, Marriages and Deaths on Findmypast from Army in India?
I havent done anything on things like that before. Its for my Step Mother in law and her family.
I have looked on Findmypast and drew a blank.
Thanks.
Jo :)

Do you mean Royal Signallers? If so they were part of the Royal Engineers until after the 1st World War, when they became a Corps in their own right.
