I would like to know if it is possible to find out anything about my Grandfather's stepfather, who I understand was a Sergeant in the Hong Kong Police Force.
His name was Chow King, also spelled Tsau Hing. I have been told that he joined the police force on 11th October 1887 and retired on a pension on 11th October 1907. I do not know his age, or, indeed, anything else about him.
Is it likely that he retired on a pension because he had reached pensionable age, e.g. 65, or because he had completed twenty years service?
If someone can provide information or suggest where I should look for information it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
