Royal Irish Constabulary

[J Melia]

Hi Richardx

I would be very grateful if you could check if there is a Patrick White (Whyte) in the book you have, I know he lived in Cork after 1922 as he maried my Grandmother Hanora (Nora) Cotter/Coakley, but I am not sure if he actually came from cork, but it is very likely that he did. He died in about 1930/31 and my mother says she remembers seeing medals for bravery.

Thanks very much as I have tried many arcives and cant get any where and I think my next step is to go down to Kew where the records are

Hello John,

Unfortunately this might not help you. The book is literally an index of what  records you mind find elsewhere i.e. at the Police Museum in Ireland or the UK National Archives. It only lists surnames, first names and the constable's number.
 
On that basis there are 17 entries for Patrick White and 5 entries for Patrick Whyte.

If you want their constable numbers please let me know.

Regards,

Richard
