Is that them in 1901 (reply #9)?

[uniform 1]

yes that is they...only found that myself a week or so ago..you wouldn't think I'd been tracking them down, or rather him down for over ten years, had numerous letters from the police force who are still trying to track down a portrait of him that I grew up with as a child in my bedroom. It was him in full uniform and with that beard and tash too. Sergeant Freckleton where art though...lol you couldn't conjour that up as well could you Gaffy?

Just checking, my post forced a next page and I wanted to make sure you had seen the post on the previous page...

Re. your searching for 10 years etc., that is always the way, it's Murphy's law. 

BTW, is yours the picture uploaded onto the Ancestry website (with the legend "photo is from a painting commissioned by his colleague at his retirement from the police force after 25 years service"?) That is some beard!

You were right to check that I had seen your post Gaffy, I am a scatterbrain at times. yes that is my pic of William that was commissioned on his retirement,he had to go to London to pick it up, so the story goes..he must have been well thought of..looks a right rough basket if you ask me
That is the picture I "found" after five years of enquiries, thought it might have been a copy of the one I was brought up with, but no. That was a black and white one and was left in my gran's house when she moved out! I can't believe that she didn't ask me if I wanted it or not, I only lived two doors away! My gran's side were from Armagh, got a right story to tell out my gran's brother who went to live in Kansas. A story of him supposed to have set fire to his own church, and being abducted by two or three geezers and dumped tied up in a mud hole on the outskirts of his town, wow1  Thanks again Gaffy.

➢   There are two Frackelton family trees in the Blackwood Family History manuscript trees Collection in the LinenHall library, Belfast.
