	Ummm, sorry I'm in New Zealand and I work in a library ....we don't have those sorts of records here. :-( I'm also not able to get to a LDS centre to order films or fiche, so I guess I'm stuck for the moment. Thanks anyway, Sylvia

	I've seen some GRO fiche for events overseas at Bromley, Kent library. It may be worth asking at a main library near you.

	There are GRO indexes of overseas births deaths and marriages including Army Returns. You can see them at the Family Records Centre in Myddleton Street but I don't think they are on line. Judith
