Hello List A recent FIBIS News release http://www.new.fibis.org/archives/986 is about the " <http://www.new.fibis.org/archives/986> Percy-Smith and Bullock collection" which has been uploaded to FIBIS database which consists of 10,000 sundry British-Indian baptisms, marriage and burials. These have all been transcribed by Robert Charnock, a mammoth task. The FIBIS database link is http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_class es <http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_clas ses&source_class=294> &source_class=294 or http://tinyurl.com/kpubgkm I think most of the information was personally obtained by Percy-Smith and Bullock, , but I noticed a couple of batches of records which were transcribed by other people. In particular I noticed there were some records from the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Dolours, Boitakhana, Calcutta dating back to the 1810s which were transcribed by "Rev H. Hosten Calcutta 1915" and some records for the Bushire,(Iran) Armenian Church transcribed by "C H A Bagshawe Bushire Sept 1926" I have looked at some of the records, just a sample, and they seem to contain a lot of information that you are unlikely to find elsewhere, perhaps because they died in out of the way places. A couple of examples are: *To the Memory of Mary-Ann, wife of Color Serjeant J.F. Crisp 1st Battn 8th Kings Regt., who died here 6 January 1870, while on the march from Poona to Nasirabad Dak bungalow at Nimbahera District Source: Typed page Copy of the demi-official letter #1146 of 1944 dated 15th July 1944 from the Vice President State Council, Tonk, to the Political Agent at Jaipur. http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_detail.php?id=1398694 or http://tinyurl.com/lzeyl6v *Miss Mary Flyde, tutoress to the present Rajadhiraj Sahib, died at Shahpura 15 December 1885.

Perhaps you may find that elusive record you have been looking for! Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
