Norman would like to know whether it is possible to find out about the Police career of his relative Herbert BIRD.

It is thought he served in Staffordshire, ?Stone.  He was born about 1890 and he possibly achieved the rank of Chief Superintendent.

Would be grateful for any information.

The Common Room / BBC Gloucs - ESTELL(E) death please

Harry ESTELL(E) was found on a marriage cert (his son's).  The marriage took place in Yorkshire.

David has the marriage cert.  He was probably a marine engineer (we don't have the info to hand).

He might have come from Alsace Lorraine.

Can anyone help to identify him or where he might have come from please?

David will add more info when he gets home but he hasn't been found on censuses.  He would probably have been in Yorkshire.
