    3. Maureen wrote with respect to this marriage: The death record given by Jill below , with image, is available on findmypast (pay site}, although the transcription incorrectly says place of death Chakrata, when it was Cawnpore. The records on Ancestry are in fact the dataset from FamilySearch, which are the India Office collection. If they are in FamilySearch they will generally be be on findmypast, as both datasets have their origin in the India Office records. There only reason they won't be on findmypast, or you ca't find them on findmypast, is that some records were too fragile to film, errors such as mis-transcription etc --ooOoo-- People on the list may like to have a look at: http://www.fibis.org/british-india-records-findmypast-10-tips-searching/ This will help them understand what they might be able to do to get more out of the FindMyPast site, particularly when the search finds "0" results. Please do not accept that this means that the results are not on their site or in the original India Office Records. They may be on FindMyPast but difficult to find. In addition to the reasons that Maureen gives should be added mis-indexation and plain omission, I'm afraid. Good Hunting! Peter Bailey Chairman Families in British India Society www.fibis.org
