Many thanks for your very helpful reply, Maureen. Regards, Michael Michael, perhaps you are thinking of ?Returns of Deaths of Uncovenanted Servants and Other Officers IOR/L/AG/34/14A ? available at the British Library. The FIBIS database has data for Volume 1 1870-1876. ?The returns, which are not 100% complete, relate to Europeans born in the UK and India, to a few Eurasians and to a very small number of Asians. The amount of detail varies but usually includes the date, place and cause of death, age, place of birth, details of the estate and names and addresses of surviving relatives. It thus provides more information than is obtainable from Burial Certificates [IOR N] and is a useful adjunct to the latter series?. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlag_4&cid=1-49-15#1-49-15 or http://tinyurl.com/n3mjgzv Cheers Maureen
