Hi

I just want to let you all know I have 3 pages of the 48th Regiment (later known as Northampton Regiment) baptism registries in India. Dates from 1860 through to 1878.

I will be happy to give you details if your ancestor is on one of the 3 pages of registers I have here.

regards
Shannon

Army birth registrations for the period you are interested should be in the overseas section of the General Register Office index held at the Family Records Centre. You will find the images for the GRO overseas index on 1837online.

According to the history of the Lancashire Fusiliers (20th regiment of the Foot I think) the First Battalion was serving abroad in these places

1891.04 Ireland: Belfast   
  1893 Curragh   
  1896 Athlone   
  1897 England: Preston   
  1899 Malta   
  1899 Crete   
  1902 Gibraltar   
  1905 Malta 

The Second Battalion was in India

1888 Ahmednagar   
  <1892> Poona   
  <1897> Quetta   
  1898 Egypt   
  1898 Sudan 
  1898 Crete 
  1898 Malta 
  1899.10 South Africa 11 Bde
  1902 England: Aldershot   
  1904 Ireland: Fermoy 

The Third Battalion only formed in 1898

1898.11 Malta   
  1901 Barbados   
  1903 South Africa 

and the Fourth Battalion only formed in 1900
