	John, You could try www(.)policeorders(.)uk or www(.)victorianlondon(.)org/police But they're only sketchy. You can't really beat Kew, I got a physical description of my G x2 Grandfather who joined in 1850, his referee, retirement date and pension. Maggie
	Researching: Henry Floyd (g x 4 grandad) Allegedly the heaviest man in England in 1842
