British Library - India Office Records

IOR/Z/O/6/2 - Index to Personnell Records (H-Z, 1794-1841). It is possible that he left prior to 1794 due to the re-organisation
IOR/Z/0/1/1 - Bonds of Overseas Staff of the EIC (1700-1800). This primarily records bonds relating to senior appointment which may explain the absence of any records
IOR/F/1/1 - Court Directors Minutes (1784-1793) - only senior appointments noted
IOR/F/1/2 - Court Directors Minutes (1794-1804) - only senior appointments noted
IOR/O/5/24 - Establishment Details (1766-1800) - only senior appointments noted

IOR/O/5/25 - Establishment Summaries (1766-1800) - only senior appointments noted
I have checked the shipping journal of the Egmont (IOR/L/MAR/B/535E) and Francis (IOR/L/MAR/B/443) and no O'Hara's are mentioned, but unless they died or were responsible for some incident they would have not have been.
