He married Annie Buglass in London and had several children by her. William's occupation was first as either a sergeant or constable for the Metropolitan Police in London (expensive to look) and as a Ranger for the Canal Authority London. I have tried to trace a service record through the Royal Irish Constabulary but have found nothing. I am pretty sure his father was called Charles and his mother called Bridget and that he had a brother also called Charles but need this all confirmed to move on.
