Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 461 Send Message	An ancestor of mine spent census night 1861 in custody in Cuckfield Police Station Sussex. I would really like to know what crime he had commited. Does anyone know whether police custody records for this period still exist, and if they are, where would I find them? Thank you for your help. Rachel

Hope this helps. Heather
