India and the Army
« on: Tuesday 01 April 08 15:52 BST (UK) »
I am trying to help a friend trace their roots, and they have a Grandfather born Circa 1905 whom they believe was born in India whilst there father was on Military Service.

Any ideas where to start looking for this one.

They have a Marriage Cert (which was in the UK), but no other information.

There are overseas registers for military births which are on sites like findmypast and familyrelatives. These certificates can be ordered from the GRO like ordinary birth certificates:
