In general the ecclesiastical returns from India ceased after 1947, although a few strays did still find their way to London. In my own case even though I was born after 1947, I arranged for the baptism certificates for myself, my sister and my brother to be sent direct from the church in Calcutta to the India Office Library (as it was then called) many many years ago, in order that our family records would be here for future generations to research.
