Yes there are a lot of records on FamilySearch, but from what I remember they are only transcriptions and I don't like to rely on them unless I have to. FindMyPast has the original documents for many, although some of those are also only transcriptions, particularly the later ones (after circa 1920). The records for Madras for 1800-1920 were particularly complete when I was looking and generally in very good condition.
The names, dates and cities of interest would be useful if you have them.
