IOR: L/AG/20/13/1 - Bombay Marine. Leave and Duty Pay 1797-1814
This single volume
is alphabetically indexed at the front. Some care needs taking with this, but
is explained in a note written there. These relate to line officers only down
to and including volunteers/midshipmen (with one pilot). However, apart from pay
scales and that drawn, for most entries there is no other information.

IOR: L/AG/20/13/6 - Indian Navy and Pilot Services. (Catalogued as) Leave and
Duty Pay 1854-1860
Seemingly
as part of a series of eight volumes also covering the Bombay Marine from
1814-1876. This particular volume
relates to the Indian Navy and Bengal Pilot service. There are alphabetical
indexes at the front under various headings showing which service, whether
officers were on furlough (leave), or on the retired list.
Basically these
only relate to aspects of pay and unless one has an interest in percentages
going to the Indian Navy Fund, or income tax, overwhelmingly there is nothing
of note. Nevertheless, the long periods of furlough can be logged and
occasionally deaths are shown. In this particular volume, at least, there is no
element of ‘duty’ pay as far as I can determine.

IOR: L/AG/20/14/1 & 2 - Steam Vessels: Seamen’s Wages 1837-59
These are pay
books for the entire ships’ companies (including officers and petty officers)
of the individual steam vessels built in the United Kingdom, with gaps from
1837 to 1856. These may be of limited use to genealogists, but would be of far
more import to historians.
