This is my 1st time on this forum, sorry if this question is incorrect.
I am looking to obtain a copy of a death/burial record that I have found on Family Search, I believe this could be my Great Grand Father. I cannot get to a Family history centre.

FYI

.

As the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church, in "Temple Square" in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA is still currently TEMPORALITY "Closed" (to the Public) due to the "COVID-19" Pandemic ...

.

And ...

.

IF, the "Family History Centres" of the Church (or, "Affiliate" Libraries) nearest you are still TEMPORARILY "Closed" due to the "COVID-19" Pandemic ...

.

Or, you just cannot get to a "Family History Centre" of the Church (or, "Affiliate" Library) ...

.

THEN, can I humbly suggest that you consider trying the following ...

.

As such ...

.

You could try one of the FREE 'On-Line' Consultations through the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church in, "Temple Square", Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

.

Here is some links were you can access/book one of those Consultations ...

I have seen/heard some good positive 'Feedback' from those who have used the service.

.

But ...

That said ...

.

Please be aware that you CANNOT be provided with a actual "Image" of that Record; but, you may be able to get (or, confirm) the information/details/data that you desire.

.

Good Luck.

@Brett .​ Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my query

My best guess is that the record and image ought to be on FindMyPast in their collection "British India Office Deaths & Burials". However, I cannot find Frederick Darlan under those details.

 

I can search FMP on 1920 burials at a place of Bilaspur plus 3 similar variants, but, while I can see some Bilaspur burial images for some quarters in that year, the 2nd quarter doesn't appear. It does appear to imply that the image will be a copy of a burial record from an Indian Parish Register.

 

According to the FS Index Record, the data is on the "film"

Digital Folder Number 005138469

 

So I have a horrible feeling that FMP don't have the image in question, which means that you need to get hold of someone who has access to a Family History Centre - or presumbly a full LDS member account - as Brett suggests.

@Adrian Bruce1​ Thank you Adrian for taking the time to look for me.

I have emailed a local Family history centre (currently closed) in the hope that someone may get back to me.
