Inspector Darby Byrne died 03 Aug 1918?

[Piglet01]

Hello

The above is a distant relative of my brother in law.

Apparently he was an Inspector in the Glasgow Police, killed and by a prisoner in cells.  That's all that has been handed down.

Any help or pointers where further info can be gleaned would be much appreciated.

He was married to Catherine Burns, he was also know as Jeremiah.

Closed - he died on the above date - but not killed.  Downloaded death entry from SP.

Regards,   Steve  :O)

The Archives at the Mitchell Library hold the service records for the City of Glasgow police force.

You will be able to track his service & conduct from when he was sworn in as a constable until he left the service / died in service.

If your lucky they may have an photograph of him within his file

Thanks for the input - sancti and yokerbrian.....

Sue, Just spoken to my sister who is now into FH in a big way.  She has photo/s of Darby Byrne and a copy of their wedding cert + other info.  You have to post I believe 3 times before you can use the pm system.  If you do that I can pm my sisters e-mail address and she's obviously waiting to get in touch..

Regards,   Steve
