Thanks so much. I have Francis Joseph Penston in the 1901 census as a met constable. Should be really grateful if you could have a look for him. |

Danielle Neither of yours, sorry :-( I don't think the database goes up that far. If you go to the National Archives site and search the catalogue for MEPO 4 - it will give you the dates it goes up to at Kew. nell |

Frederick J Lilley, born 1876 Gt Chesterford, Essex - was in Hammersmith 1901 census - married to Ada Elizabeth Avis, married 3/1901 west ham - a policeman in 1901. Appreciate anything you can find. Kind regards, Laird |

This includes name, age, physical description - height, weight, chest measurement, complexion, eye & hair colour as well as particular marks. Also date and place of birth, previous employment. Kew also has the pensions records which give the policeman's service record - when and which places he was posted, plus any promotions. You can find out his final pay and his pension, plus his current and planned address and next of kin. BUT in order to get his service record, you need to have his warrant number, and to get his pension details you need the date when he retired. Sometimes this info is on police-orders.com and I can access this, so if you'd like me to look for your copper, please give me his name and if possible, an idea of when he served. If this info ISN'T on police-orders then you can find the warrant number from an index list of officers on microfilm, but this is at Kew. nell |
