Hi Cathy I just saw your query about John HARE. I compiled police info from files held at State Records of SA (originals at SA Police Historical Society) and the database can be searched at http://www.ach.familyhistorysa.info/police.html John Hare appears in GRG5/14: "Agreements signed by men entering service with date of appointment, dismissal, resignation, etc 1838-52" GRG5/23: "Register of ex-members of the SA Police Force 1838-1920". (This was compiled about 1921.) His dismissal is also noted in the 1848 Government Gazette. The only info recorded: Born 1822. He joined Police 1-7-1848 aged 26 years and was dismissed 17-10-1848. The info for many of the early police is quite sparse. Bye Maureen M Leadbeater Adelaide Co-operative History http://www.ach.familyhistorysa.info/
