You will need to contact the India Office in London. My great great grandfather was born in India. His father was a soldier. My 2nd cousin found all the info concerning the births and baptisms at the India Office. Just google it, you will get an address. Think you may have to go in person or get someone to go for you, the info isn't online. Margaret |
