morning folks
just had a friend (yes, i have one) email me, asking me to help find her grandfather's birth records. the story so far:- he fell out with with his father before he married, and he might have been born in india (she can't find his berth in the uk index). apart from ordering his wedding cert, does anyone have any ideas, please?

Findmypast has some army births from India. What was your friend's grandfather's name and approximate year of birth?
