Hi Dave
      You don't have any information on the Nottingham / Chesterfield / Doncaster police do you ? we have a William H Bunney ( b1846 ) that was in the force in 1871.

There is no Harry BATEMAN but there is a Harvey BATEMAN who joined in June 4th 1894 as PC 206, the collar number was reissued in 1903 indicating that he had left the force or he had been promoted

My goodness Dave. You really have started something here. You have to be very careful before mentioning that you have access to something. You'd be amazed at how many people would be interested!

If you've not completely worn out the pages - any chance that you could look up my great grandfather - William Fall? I believe that he was in the Hull police force around the early 1890s, possibly into the 1900s.

(He was apparently thrown out - my mother thought that it was because he drank, my aunt thought that it was because he beat up a man to preventing the man hitting the man's wife and child. )

Thanks. I appreciate it
Isobel

Im aware of a PC William Whitelam who was often mentioned in the Hull papers C1860.  He was the 100th police officer enlisted in the city.
As for Sculcoates police station, it was situated on Church St which is now wincomlee.  Its sadly gone but was adjoined to Sculcoates Inn on one side and the family home of a Jack the Ripper suspect.
The police station was built around 1878 as the headquarters of C division.
F.S.Smith the victorian artist drew a brilliant picture of the police station looking south.
There was also a photo of the whole of C division in Images of Hull, Kingston upon hull the second selection by paul gibson.  The book also contains a photo of the adjacent pub.
Hope this helps

Hi Dave,
Any chance of a look up for a distant ancestor, please:
James Brown, born in Scotland around 1816.  The 1841 census has him as a Policeman in Hull, living in Providence Street.   He seems to have left the force before 1851 when the census has him as a Post Office Porter (on night duty on the night of the census).
Many thanks,
Dave
