I have just found a relative in the 1871 Census and his occupation is given as Borough Inspector, Shrewsbury. He was 31, single and a boarder at the Pineapple Inn, Shrewsbury. Can anyone tell me what would have been his duties? Thanks! Alejandro Milberg Boston, Mass.

Hello Alejandro It is just possible that your relative was a Police Inspector in the Shrewsbury Borough Police but I think it is much more likely that he was an Inspector of {{??}} within the Borough, possibly highways or shops or goodness knows what. Your only way to find a proper answer to this question is to employ a researcher to look through the (unindexed) Shrewsbury Borough Quarter Sessions records for that year and possibly a few years either side to see if his name is mentioned. Please note that the Quarter Sessions CD produced by Shropshire FHS is for the County Quarter Sessions and does not include Shrewsbury Borough.

Quite possibly an inspector of public works such as drains and sewers. What else is know about this person. What is his name (good start)!.
