Fazli -----Original Message----- From: srilanka-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:srilanka-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Gay Fielding Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 9:48 AM To: srilanka@rootsweb.com Subject: [SRILANKA] Ferguson's Directories I realise, after scouring a Ferguson's Directory of Ceylon 1871 On-line edition and noticing that these directories actually list the names and wages of Civil Servants. One of my rellies who reputedly "died surveying the jungles of Ceylon" may be listed in the Diretories under Surveyor General's Department in later directories. Another who worked for the Public Irrigation Works of Ceylon, may also be listed in some directories.. Are there any other Fergusons Directories on line that I could scour, or if someone has some later copies, could they please do a lookup for me.. I am looking for : Norman Angus Campbell, Public Irrigation Works of Ceylon after 1874 but prior to 1882 Colin Campbell at Sureyor Generals Department, probably after 1874 and prior to 1923 Thanks if you can help Gay ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SRILANKA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom/which they are addressed.
