Civil Service Evidence of Age - look up please
« on: Sunday 05 November 17 17:56 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I wonder if anyone has a subscription to find my past and could help me out (I subscribe to ancestry, so could look things up in return). 

My great-grandfather James Jardine b:1870 in Johnstone by Lockerbie Scotland.  Was in the Civil Service, I know he was in Accra (Ghana) in 1901, 1902, 1904 (from Colonial lists). He died in 1936, on his death certificate he is civil service (retired). 

FindMyPast seems to be the only place to look up civil service evidence of age records, I wondered if someone could kindly look him up for me and let me know what they find.

Thanks

Lynda

Hi,

I've searched the "British Civil Service Evidence Of Age" at FindMyPast but there is no sign of James JARDINE. This explanation will explain why it might not be there,

Only 2% left what a shame.

Regards,
Daisy

Thanks Daisy for looking for me.  I do have his birth certificate, so he was registered maybe that was all he needed to join, so they didn't keep it.
