R.I.M. and Pilot Service - 1891-1893
This is one of a
number of series theoretically going back to the Bombay Marine in 1797 and
finishing in 1947. There are clear alphabetical indexes at the front showing
separately ‘Indian Marine Furlough Pay’; ‘Bengal Pilot Service Furlough Pay’;
‘Indian Marine Retired Pay’; and ‘Bengal Pilot Service Retired Pay’. As could
be expected, most of the info relates to payments, although there can be other
useful snippets, such as pensions per annum and their home addresses.

As in
L/AG/20/13/17 this is part of the records spanning from 1797 to 1947. This
volume is basically in alphabetical order. There is in reality very little
intelligible to researchers (other than ex pay officers and writers possibly)
except for officers’ addresses and their bankers. It should be stated that
officers of the R.I.N.R, R.I.N.V.R. and also the Burma Royal Naval Volunteer
Reserve are also included.

1948
As above, this is
another of a number of series theoretically going all the way back to the
Bombay Marine in 1797, but continuing through to March 1957. This has an alphabetical
index at front and once again, has hardly any info other than officers’
addresses. Incidentally, it too also covers the R.I.N.R. and R.I.N.V.R.
