Hi Margo...
..I don't know if you would have them at LDS in Salt Lake City, because I
thought they were an LDS filming of GRO records, but I sure you would be
able to get them somewhere, and that is the "Army Chaplains Records of BDMs
for Stations Abroard."
These are GRO records for the British Army. They are an index of events for
British soldiers, and they give you the index details to allow you to write
to the GRO now the National Archives UK and obtain the birth Certificate...
The microfiche you would need are for
Births of Children:-
Index to certified copies of registers of births (officers, soldiers, &
their families) from chaplains to the forces at stations abroad, 1796-1880.
Aar - Jed (GRO no F540) - fiche 1
Jef - Wil (GRO no F541) - fiche 2
Wil - Zam (GRO no F542) fiche 3
There are lots of other fiche such as for Marriages and Deaths...
The full set of fiche are:-
. G.R.O. Army Regimental Registers of Births and marriages 1761-1924, and
deaths 1796-1987.There are several series, some of them overlapping, with
an uncertain amount of duplication & omission.The name, place, year and
regiment are required to carry out a conclusive search.These relate to
events in U.K. and abroad.
2. Army Chaplains returns of Births, Baptisms, Marriages, Deaths &
Burials 1796-1880 which all relate to events abroad. These do not give
the regiment, only name. place, and date range.
Index to entries in the army regimental registers of births and baptisms,
1761 - 1924 - 8 microfiche - Supplement A-Z NOTE: "Should be used in
addition to the (previous) index."
This is where I found the children of my Guard

Nancy,
I have two Ceylon births in 1868 and 1871 because my family was military
(Black Watch). Let me warn you right now that it is next to impossible to
get birth records out of Ceylon. I work at the Family History Library in
Salt Lake City and we don't even have them. I am trying to go through the
back door to get these two birth records but I have been warned that the
records are probably sitting (if they are even around) in a back hall
rotting and the locals' pockets are "very deep" if you get my drift.
Hope that helps.
Margo

Hello,
I'm trying to find a marriage for William Jefferies (Jeffreys) & Mary
O'Brien and a birth for their first daughter Mary.
William was English, Mary was born in Limerick Ireland, daughter Mary born
Point de Galle, Ceylon about 1846/7.
They had returned to England by 1849.
Does anyone have them in their tree?
Any ideas what would have taken them to Ceylon for only a few years?
Nancy
Australia
