Familysearch has a few Indian records.
Also try www.fibis.org.
Googling will give you some more ideas.

Researching:
Weedon - Australia, Hertfordshire; Paterson - Scotland; Elmer - Huntingdon; Ball, Lloyd, Warren - Birmingham; Branson - Bucks;

Thanks for this. It has helped me. I knew an ancestor in the army had died in India and had found out that his regiment was there between 1828 and 1840 which narrowed the dates a bit, but I had never found his death. It didn't appear to be on Familysearch or FMP.

I hadn't come across the fibis site before but gave it a try after seeing it on this thread and found a probate record for him :-D :-D :-D

It doesn't give a date of death but it gives a probate date of Jan 1835 so he probably died in the second half of 1834. I'm as sure as I can be that it is my man because his mother and brother are named.

Isn't it satisfying when another loose end is tied up?
