> > 'Births & Marriages in the 62nd Regiment at Halifax, 1815-1823' Hi I'll post all of these in one message, have numerous pages, so will do soonest. Geo.

Hi George I suspect that the term Births is correct: some military units were sending in reports of BMD as early as 1761 and some of these are included in the Index of Births, Deaths and Marriages Index for HMS Forces (ie this is separate from the GRO's Index) held at the Family Record Centre at 1 Myddelton Street, Islington, EC1R 1UW. Although I believe the majority of these records date from 1881. But if the records were compiled by the unit's Chaplain then no doubt he conformed to the usual Church of England habit of reporting Baps, Mars, and Burials, rather than BMD.
