    3. Hello List Nancy, The Access to Archives catalogue gives the following records at the British Library. There may be additional references. Perhaps they may contain a muster roll, or other details of recruits. IOR/F/4/56/1299 Jul 1779-Dec 1798 Establishment of a Corps of Militia at Calcutta, to consist of Europeans, Armenians and Eurasians. IOR/F/4/193/4361(1) Nov 1805-Jan 1806 Disbandment of the Calcutta European Militia Cavalry and Infantry. Cheers Maureen (Sydney) From: NANCY LILLY < [email protected]> Subject: [INDIA] CALCUTTA MILITIA 1798 Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2013 10:55:00 -0500 On 31 October 1798, the Calcutta Militia was activated (per Asiatic Annual Register 1799). The Europeans were ordered to register on Wednesday 7 November 1798, the Armenians on Thursday 8 November 1798 and the Portuguese on Friday 9 November 1798. Does anyone know if a muster list exists for this Militia? Yet, another avenue to explore in search of my elusive BOTELHO/ANDERSON/DORR/LUCAS/PAUL/D'CRUZ/MANUEL/D'ABREU/HENRIQUES families.
