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. Published lists of passages to and from India are also included in the '''Bengal Directory of 1815-59'''. | 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.

Passport records can be very useful records because the last page of the document contains the name of the parents of the individual, as well as the date and place of birth. Passport records are kept at the Regional Passport Office for each state in India. Note that these records were not created until the 1900s and older passport records may not exist today. | |||

Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups. | Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country.
