Looking For Policemen ????

[dawnwas]

Hi Cougar.Thankyou for the reply.My Dad is thankfully still fit and well at 80 years of age...and I was hoping to come across a list of policemen including himself and friends that he served with...to jog his memory a bit.It would be nice if he could make contact with someone from the past.

Glad to hear that he is still alive.
If you contact the Police Association - assume they have one over in England - they should be able to assist.

Both great sites !   Now, how to search for someone who was in the Railway Police in the 1840s ?

   Awww, I'm all upset now.

My gt-gt-grandfather (Joseph W Mills) was a policeman from 1842 to 1859, one of the originals, would've worn the top-hatted uniform, worked in V division (Fulham) and later as a Sergeant in T division. He resigned in June 1859.

I can't find any mention of him in the listings.   

Still, I shouldn't really be surprised I s'pose, because I can't find out where he was buried either! He died in Nov 1864, but I can't find him in any burial records anywhere ... ancestors can be so inconsiderate!

Hi Wendy
Get onto the Police Archives section - might be through the National archives - don't know about the UK - they should be able to trace him for you.
