Hi All, After many years of searching i have finally found evidence one or more of my connections actually did exist other than what the 1841 census for Wappenbury in Warwickshire told me. Michael Lalor was living in Wappenbury a single man born Ireland around 1820 it states Michael was a policeman. In 1842,his son Henry is born to Hannah Malin,they we not married.. In 1843,his son Walter was born,same father different mother,on Walter's birth it states Eliza Lalor nee Simmons,however,she was not married to Michael either,i think this was to stop the shame. After visiting the Warwickshire Records Office yesterday i found this... Michael Lalor: date joined Police force:13/6/1840 as a P.C. Warrant no: 47 resigned 28/3/1842. By whom ordered: J.W.Burke Esq.,Carrakoel,Loughsea,Hyacinth Clarke Esq.,Carraroe Lodge & several other Clergy & gentry in Ireland.....Why did he resign,what did he do in Ireland that was so bad the people mentioned contacted the police force in England? After this there is evidence Michael went to the Essex Police,Michael joined them in April 1842 stated he was born in Galway & yet again Michael also resigned in August 1842,then the trail goes dry..... Also mentioned was Francis Lalor born around 1810,living in Bedworth Warwickshire in 1841 along with his wife, Amelia born 1810,Thomas 1830,Francis 1835,John 1836,James 1838 & Mary 1839 all born Ireland. While checking Michael's details i also came across this Francis Lalor: date joined Police force 19/3/1840 as a P.C. became Police inspector 4/1/1841 Warrant no; 35 Resigned 14/6/1841 By whom ordered: Inspector Rowan Esq.,R. Grimshaw Esq.,Justice of the Peace County Antrim & several other justices in Ireland. So what happened,where do i start to look,what next,where did they go??? Thanks in advance, Kaz who is confused & stumped?
