===Uncovenanted service===
This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2011-02/1297381051 post] advises that a number of [[LDS]] microfilms in respect of uncovenanted servants are listed in the LDS Library catalogue under the title [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=831494&disp=A+return+of+all+offices%2C+places+and+pe&columns=*,0,0 A return of all offices, places and pensions, civil, political, military and commercial held under the East India Company within the United Kingdom and colonies. India Office]. The reference IOR/ L/AG/30/1-22/1-60 is quoted, however an examination of page 2 of the film notes for the catalogue entry shows that many of the records for uncovenanted servants are from the series '''IOR/L/F/10/119-188''', for the period to 1900 (broken range). [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlf8&cid=1&kw=IOR/L/F#1 India Office Records: Financial Department Records '''IOR/L/F'''] c.1800-1948 states "For the principal subjects represented in L/F, see Martin Moir 'A General Guide to the India Office Records' (London 1988) pp.171-172". The series IOR/L/F/10 does not appear in the Access to Archives catalogue (The only catalogue entries in Access to Archives for IOR/L/F are Contracts and Agreements IOR/L/F/8 1853-1946). If you wish to view these records at the [[British Library]] you will need to consult a guide such as [[British Library|Baxter’s Guide]] for details.
