London & Middlesex Resources / Re: Metropolitan Police Records Online
« on: Monday 11 May 20 21:25 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find my late husband's police constable record.   I have an official picture of him and his fellow Officers dated January 1958 after, I assume, his graduation as an officer.    His name was Percy Chater SMITH.   Unfortunately I do not have his police number and I wonder what range he might have been within for 1957 / 58.??

The only other thing he mentioned was that he spent time in Brighton at the time of their "bent copper" problems.
I have tried he National Archives but cannot get the hang of the records there.
Many thanks for any advice.

Hello Rootschatters.

I have been slowly working on a project to get transcribed indexes for books in the Registers of Leavers for the Metropolitan Police (London). As a by-product of this I have uploaded the photographs that I am using on to flickr.

There are transcribed indexes for some of the <a href="http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Category:Metropolitan_Police_Registers_Of_Leavers">Registers of Leavers</a> on <a href="http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">Your Archives</a>. There are also <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/collections/72157613987467704/">photographs</a> for all but a few of the pages of these books on flickr too. I am going to continue to add the transcribed indexes as and when I complete them to the <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">National Archives'</a> <a href="http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">Your Archives</a> website.

Other records also include the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/collections/72157615952312310/">Numerical Registers</a>, which cover the very first officers who joined the force. There are also some of the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/collections/72157618696862035/">Attestation Ledgers</a>.

I hope that it's all helpful for other people researching their family history.

Am trying to find out about  Honora St. Ledger who may have been born in 1857 at Headford, Galway.  Do you happen to have any record of this lady who ends up, I believe, as Honora Collins.

Family rumour is that she fell on hard times and the family did not want to know but we all realise that this could be complete bunkem !!!

I am researing the name St. Leger from Doneraile (co. Cork) and from the rest of Ireland, too.

Have been reseaching this name for the past 25 years plus so have accummulated a LARGE database of St. Legers.

Would welcome hearing from anyone else who is researching their St. Leger roots.
