Got any law enforcement folks in your study? Quite by chance I came across this website a few weeks ago: http://www.norfolk.police.uk/aboutus/ourhistory.aspx You can search for your study name(s) there and if you find one, can request a copy of what the force holds about them. Their service took a week to get back to me but were able to send me brief information on each of the people, varying from places they lived to rate of pay, severance pay and so on. I asked them also about another man whom I knew about from census information. He had served in Norwich, which for hundreds years was a separate local government body from the county, but even there they were able to track down something for me. Happy hunting Paul -- Paul Howes www.howesfamilies.com Researching House, Howes, Hows, Howse & Howze worldwide
Thanks for this link, Paul. My maternal grandfather is in the list so I will be interested to see what information they hold.
