There were also several other sites.

National Archives for the policeman, depending on which force he worked for. Even if you can't find his actual service records, he might be quoted in a court case as a witness.

Re the clergymen Heather, do you know which denomination they belonged to and which area they came from?

The site which Potty kindly found is for Anglican clergy but you can google the HQ of the Methodist church etc. for more info.

Hi Heather, if you put both of the names of your relatives on this thread, along with dates etc., it is quite possible that the helpers may be able to find them on a census etc. which would give their address.

The church for Killington Hall is All Saints [google] - it may be worth contacting the church for more info.
