WE ARE PLEASED TO MAKE AVAILABLE THE FOLLOWING
PUBLICATION ON CD ROM
RETURN OF THE ESTABLISHMENTS OF THE SEVERAL
POLICE OFFICES
ON THE FIFTH JANUARY
1821
THIS PUBLICATION IS EXTREMELY SCARCE
IT PROVIDES THE NAMES OF POLICE CONSTABLES & THEIR SALARY IN THE YEAR 1821 FOR OFFICERS WHO WERE STATIONED IN CENTRAL LONDON
IT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON ABOUT 65 POLICE CONSTABLES EMPLOYED AT THE FOLLOWING POLICE STATIONS
BOW STREET
GREAT MARLBOROUGH STREET
HATTON GARDEN
QUEEN SQUARE, WESTMINSTER
SHADWELL
UNION HALL
WHITECHAPEL
WORSHIP STREET
IT ALSO INCLUDES THE NAMES OF LAND CONSTABLES AT THE THAMES POLICE OFFICE
REMEMBER THIS IS 1821 SO THEREFORE 20 YEARS BEFORE ANY USEFUL CENSUS E.G. THE 1841
PEHAPS YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAD AN ANCESTOR IN THE POLICE FORCE IN LONDON FROM THE CENSUS & IF HE WAS IN HIS FORTIES OR FIFTIES IN THE 1841 CENSUS, THEN THIS PUBLICATION COULD PROVE HIS EMPLOYMENT AS A POLICE CONSTABLE TWENTY YEARS BEFORE WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW
IT COULD BE THAT YOUR ANCESTOR MAY HAVE JOINED THE POLICE AFTER FOLLOWING IN HIS FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS, AS WAS OFTEN THE CASE, SO THIS PUBLICATION COULD BAG ANOTHER ANCESTOR FOR YOU!
