British Army Family Births Abroad
« on: Wednesday 08 May 24 02:01 BST (UK) »
These were recorded in an appendix to the annual GRO indexes, weren't they?

Are overseas army/navy births  included in the online GRO system? - I don't see some births that I believe should be there....

FindMyPast has British Armed Forces and Overseas Births and Baptisms.

National Archives has a research guide:

But not the GRO itself (online) or Anc*stry?

No.
I amended my previous post with TNA details.

Thanks.

Strange that the GRO don't have their own records online, when FindMyPast do (or perhaps that is the reason)

The overseas indexes are also available on microfiche at the designated libraries, along with a number of other GRO indexes not available online ( e.g. recent BMD indexes, the Adopted Children Register, Civil Partnership Register and a few others).
