Possible source of records for military marriages in Mesopotamia

[MaureenE]

I have come across a source of some birth and marriage records from Mesopotamia which includes the WW1 period. Possibly there may also be some death records, although this is nor specified in the catalogue, which says "Registers"

 

The records are available at the Lambeth Palace Library, London.

The records for Mesopotamia include

MS 2669-2676 Registers for Mesopotamia (Iraq) 1883-1972, including

MS 2669 General register of baptisms in Mesopotamia, 1916-22, and in St. George's church, Baghdad, 1922-8. C.M.S. and civil chaplaincy baptisms are entered from 1921, and Royal Air Force baptisms from 1926;

 MS 2672 General register of marriages in Mesopotamia (including Baghdad). Civil marriages are registered from 1922. 1917-1928.

 

Generally, for some other sources of Military marriages, see some GRO records (which I mentioned in another topic)

GRO dataset GRO ARMY MARRIAGES WITHIN BRIT. LINES 1914-1925
