Two datasets listing East India Company Army Recruits transcribed from returns made by Dublin district recruiting officers 1843-50 have been uploaded to the FIBIS database.
- EIC Recruits 1843-46 Returns made by Dublin district recruiting officers
- EIC Recruits 1847-50 Returns made by Dublin district recruiting officers
The datasets list recruits to the artillery and infantry, as brought in by various recruiting sergeants and gives description of recruits:
- place of birth
- occupation
- where and when enlisted
- attestation, approval and transfer to London.
Most entries also show date and ship of embarkation for India, and for which Presidency.
Our thanks go to Merran Ainslie.
