		<description><![CDATA[CAN YOU HELP? Fibis is looking for volunteers to form part of our friendly research team and deal with queries from members unable to access India records in the British Library. You dont have to have huge knowledge – sometimes only a few lookups or copying is required. Its a good way of learning about new sources and all out of pocket expenses are covered. If you have some free time and think you may be able to help please email Beverly Hallam on research@fibis.org to arrange to meet up at the Library for a chat and cup of tea!! Share]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just in case some of you are planning to visit the British Library to do some research next week,  a reminder that all British Library Reading Rooms will be closed on Monday 7th May and will re-open on Tuesday 8th May. The British Library have also made the following announcement: Alert – Planned Industrial Action – Thursday 10 May Members of the Public &#38; Commercial Services Union (PCS) have voted for a one-day strike on Thursday 10 May 2012 over changes to public sector pensions. The British Library at St Pancras plans to be open for visitors to its public areas and exhibition galleries. However, there is likely to be significant disruption to our Reading Room services as follows: We may have to open later than usual We may not be able to open some Reading Rooms We may only be able to accommodate a maximum of 5 requests per person No transfers will be possible between Reading Rooms. We may have to close early at 17.00 (rather than 20.00) We do plan to open the Boston Spa Reading Room and the Newspaper Library at Colindale, but there may be disruption to our services.

He met Harriet Lake who was a nurse with the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANYS) and in 1919 they were married. The Regiment was then stationed at Gosport in Hampshire.

		<description><![CDATA[Baxter&#8217;s guide: Biographical sources in the India Office Records By Ian A Baxter ISBN 0-9547-116-0-2 Soft cover, 73 pages, 3rd edition Contents page,  index is on Page 58 before both the Glossary and the discussion of Ecclesiastical Areas. FIBIS, in association with the British Library, have published the Third Edition of this invaluable guide to the India Office Records (held at the British Library). This is the bible for all who are researching ancestors in British India and South Asia. The information sought will probably be found in the India Office Records, which occupy 15 km of shelving hidden away in the basements of the British Library. Thankfully, the author provides invaluable guidance on exactly where relevant information may be located for more than forty different categories of people. The reader is also directed to published sources. If confronted by an obscure term while researching, for instance on learning that an ancestor was a clerk in the Sadr Faujdari Adalat, then &#8216;The glossary of terms used in the administration of British India&#8217; towards the end of this guide will be enlightening. Ian Baxter was formerly a Curator of the India Office Records and is now retired. He is currently a [...]]]></description>
