Hi In case you have any problems with the Police Orders site access - and there's a thread about people who have - this might be helpful: http://www(.)gendocs(.)demon(.)co(.)uk/police(.)html#HOW I haven't followed any of this up - only just found the link (and they don't have any e/www-addresses on it) - but it looks promising.

Hello I have a gt-x2-uncle (James CHRISTMAS) who was a City of London policeman (1861 to pre 1895) and found that this contact was very helpful: Juliet Bankes City Archives Manager Corporation of London Records Office PO Box 270 Guildhall London EC2P 2EJ tel: 020 7332 1251 fax: 020 7710 8682 e-mail: CLRO at corpoflondon (dot) gov (dot) uk If you need the Surrey Police then you might want this: Gerry Middleton-Stewart Registry Services Manager and Museum Curator Tel:01483 482155 E Mail : 7454 at surrey (dot) pnn (dot) police (dot) uk It's on the edge of Guildford (actual visits by appointment) - I have the postal address if you need it - just not instantly to hand. The Gt-x2-uncle James was in the Surrey Police Force (twice!) before he joined the City Police. Gerry (she) was very helpful. If they have the records, they send a proforma reponse with all sorts of detail that brings your ancestor to life: build, hair & eye colour, complexion, what their previous employment was... as well as the basic when & where. Both museums are happy to receive donations in recognition of the work they may have put in on your behalf. Christine |

I know there is a web site but they don't hold all the records (sorry can't remember web address). Kew hold the main information but I wrote to the Metropolitan Police Service who gave me dates and warrant number which you need when you get to Kew.

Accorcing to the 1871 census,one of my relatives was a policeman living in Lewisham. Does anyone have any ideas on where I might be able to find any further information about his time in the force and his police career? |
