Sorry Ann that I didn't get back to you, I was out this morning at at the dentist this afternoon. What Vera found is the same as I found. I don't know why it is connected to the prison serve.

I don't know what CSEoA (CSE of A) is I have Googled it without much luck.

Wendy

OK thanks Wendy, I have passed it on to the second cousin who is more directly connected than I am so that he can pay for it if he wants. No it doesn't mention prison service so maybe Vera knows something I don't about it.

Wendy found this.

What are the Civil Service Evidences of Age?

The CSEoA are files for established civil servants and civil service examination candidates, collected by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) from 1855 in order to establish accurate birth dates for the purpose of either ensuring that an examination candidate was of the required age, or granting a pension.

By the 1980s, the CSC still held original documents for approximately 60,000 individuals, consisting largely of items that it would be impractical to replace, such as personal testimonials or documents from overseas. This important genealogical collection was deposited at the Society of Genealogists (SoG) and provides unique and often irreplaceable evidence of birth for which other sources are unlikely to be available. It might more properly be titled the Remains of the Civil Service Evidences of Age, as it is estimated that it constitutes only 2% of the papers originally held by the Civil Service. The remaining 98% were destroyed by the Civil Service.

Hello Ann. Unless I have got the wrong family this one says he is an Assistant Prison Service. Burtis is a mistranscribre for Burton.

Thank you Vera, and a black mark to me for not noticing. Many thanks for taking the trouble and yes it is the right one. that must have been after he came out of the R Marines.

Hope you get some good info from that FMP/SofG record. At £14 I would want history back to the year dot..

A lot of military entered Prison Service after retirement as did some School Board men (no women then).

Vera

Vera I have passed the info on to the second cousin who is more directly connected to Thomas, if he wants to pay for it that is up to him, sounds like a bit of a gamble what you get for your money.
