1761-1924

These records were compiled by regimental chaplains and maybe duplicated within the regimental records mentioned above. 

These records relate to the garrison stationed on the islands of Corfu while under British protection after a short period of rule by France.

These records relate to registrations made by the British Consul in the country concerned. It should be noted that registration in respect of British citizens or subjects has never been compulsory and therefore a record of the event may not be held.   

Records relating to members of the British Army or their families where the event has taken place outside of the United Kingdom.  

Please note the information on the records held will only contain name, rank, service number, date (or presumed date) of death and place of death (often just recorded as the theatre of war e.g. 'France') the cause of death will normally be recorded on any certificate as 'killed in action', 'died of wounds' or 'on war service'. More information may be obtained from either the service record of the individual or their memorial.

Births and deaths which have taken place on British registered aircraft.

Events which have been registered by the British authorities in a Commonwealth country.
