Google OIOC, the Oriental and Indian Office Collections. It is a department of the British Library and I found them extremely helpful when I emailed my enquiry. They even sent me photocopies of the marriage records. Jim

You can search for overseas marriages on 1837online. (pay per view) They are free on Family Relatives if you already subscribe, but the site has not been working the last two days :o(( Merry
