Pension search

Hi all.
My Father-in-law has said he remembers paying in to a Pension back in the 1960's for a number of years but has no record of it.
Is there any way of tracking it down through NI records or other method?
Thanks

    You need at least the company's name.
  • Thanks. Have submitted an enquiry.

    Be aware that if he left the employer before reaching the pension scheme's Normal Retirement Age (which would almost certainly have been 65 for men, given it was the 1960s), there is no guarantee there will be any benefits held for him. In those days 'early leavers' normally got a refund of any personal contributions they had made to the scheme, but nothing else.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
