 === Passenger Lists  ===
-The British National Archives holds outgoing passenger lists in their record series BT 27 for the period 1890-1960, and incoming lists are in BT 26. The lists are arranged under the names of the ports of departure, and give the names of all passengers leaving Great Britain, their last addresses in England, the port at which passengers have contracted to land, their professions or occupations, and their ages.
-The only immigration passenger lists provided in BT 26 are for the period 1878-1960. Unfortunately, there are no name indexes to these lists. To search the records one must know an approximate date of arrival or the port of entry. However, there are indexes to ships' names for the period 1906 to 1951 in the British National Archives record series BT 32.
 At the back of the ''Bombay Calendar and Almanac'' and the ''Madras Almanac'', there are lists of shipping departures from India to various ports in England. The lists include the name of the British passengers and notes the presence of a native servant. However, they do not usually give the name of the servant. Occasionally free native passengers may be named.
 Publlished lists of passages to and from India are also included in the ''Bengal Directory of 1815-59'', the ''Madras Almanac 1811-61'', and the ''Bombay Directory 1817-56''. The British National Archives holds some of these printed works, and the complete set can be consulted at the British Library. A register of deposits on account of native servants is held at the British Library, India Office Records under reference L/MAR/C888.
