Birth announcements taken from East India Register
Description These entries, taken over the period 1809 to 1844, are similar to the announcements made in certain quality newspapers of the present day. It should be indicated that very many of these announcements are not matched by entries in the IOR's N-series Ecclesiastical Records. They therefore represent very important supplementary sources of data.
