- British India Office Ecclesiastical Returns - Marriages
The collection is made up of two different record sets, the British Library's British in India Collection and transcriptions licensed from FIBIS (Families in British India Society).
Most records from the British in India Collection include an image and a transcript of the original document. FIBIS records include a transcript only.
The amount of information you can discover can vary, but the British India Office marriages usually include a combination of the following information about your ancestors:
Marriage Details
Date of marriage
Place of marriage
Name of officiating minister
Names of witnesses
If married by banns or licence
Biographical information
Name of bride and groom
Age of bride and groom
Rank or profession
Place of residence
Father's name and surname (from mid-19th century onwards)
Marriages after 1930
In compliance with data protection laws fewer details and no images are available for marriages dating to after 1930. Full details are available to researchers who visit the British Library in person.
