Many thanks, Nell. Unfortunately I don't think either of these are 'mine', as I know he was a labourer in 1868. Thanks again, Rob

Thank you for looking. Jacky :-)

Hi Nell: Thank you for the info. Alva

Hi Helen Thanks for your kind offer. Could you see if you can find a Frederick James Selwyn. I know he served in the Met but unsure of dates. He was born in 1906 and was definately serving in the West Ham area in 1934. Any info would be of help. Thank you Kaye.

Hi there - You have helped me before but I have just discovered yet another London Police Constable!! His name was Thomas Maslen (1862) and he is on the 1891 and 1901 census as an officer - he lived in Woolwich if that helps. Would you be able to look him up for me please? Thank you in anticipation! Kate

hi nell, do you only cover london, i am looking for wirrel. kind regards jackie.

Jackie Police-orders only covers the Met and is not comprehensive with that! As I posted on your thread on the Tips board, other police force records are either kept by the force in question, or at the county records office. I suggest that you contact the police force and ask them. nell

Im curious as to whom this gentleman is as its a lovely photo & i hope it will be a family ancestor!!!
