Hello List Peter said: What would be my best, and most available, source, for the Parish Registers, about the 1790s, of the (Catholic) Cathedral of Our Lady of Hope, Buleshawar, Bombay? That Cathedral has long been demolished, and its PR are kept in the nearby Church of Our Lady of Health, Cavel, Bombay. Baptisms and marriages, in that Catholic Cathedral do not seem to appear, at all, the listings and Mormon films of the Bombay Presidency. Assuming there is nothing in the British Library records, and as there do not seem to be LDS microfilms, Peter may need to contact the church which hold the records in India and/or the Diocesan Office probably the latter initially. I have not tried to do this myself, but the impression I get is that letters to India are hardly ever answered, and it is really necessary to go to India yourself. But perhaps others can comment on this aspect The FIBIS Fibiwiki has pages "Church records" and "Bombay(City)" which give links to the Diocesan Office and some background information. http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Church_records http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Bombay_(City) Cheers Maureen(Sydney)
