Does anyone know where I can find Admiralty records for civil employees? I have only found records that relate to men serving on ships (TNA website, Kew). Or any other tips on the following:
The occupation of my great great grandfather Frank P Hardy on the 1901 census (Greenwich) is given as “Civil Accountant Clerk Director of Works Department Admiralty”. There is a family myth that my great grandmother (age 4 on 1901 census) grew up in Plymouth. For a number of reasons to complex to go into here, I would like to find evidence for a move of the family from Greenwich to Plymouth sometime after 1901. My assumption is that, if Frank worked for the Admiralty, it is possible that the move from Greenwich may have been for work reasons, Plymouth obviously having Admiralty connections.
