Dear Listers Does anyone have any suggestions about where I could find police officer recruitment records? William George Cox told the 1891 census enumerator (Clewer) that he was a retired policeman? He was 37 in 1891, a little young to be retired. In the 1871 census he is not a policeman at age 17. He is untraceable in the 1881 census (not in Scotland, Wales or the Isle of Man). Is Ireland a possibility? He is still a retired policeman in 1901 and his death certificate also mentions the ex-policeman. I have checked with the Berkshire County Record Office and the records they have do not mention him. Any help gratefully received. With thanks, Margaret Nichols (Canberra)
