Based on these BMD details there is a James William Alden births 1876 Dec Patrington 9d 281 There are no other Alden entries for the Patrington district which suggests they are the same family. Based on that assumption 1881 census finds James William born Patrington with his family in Melbourne Yorks, in the Pocklington Reg district. Father David Alden a Police Constable born Norfolk, wife Emma born Cherry Burton and various other children born in various other parts of the County. There are no MI's listed for Alden in the Patrington MI's published by the EYFHS and the burial registers for St. Patrick's church are at The Treasure House in Beverley.

Thank you for your help Margaret and Lynn. David Alden, the police constable was my gt grandfather, and I was told that when he became too friendly with the local publican he was moved on. Because of this the 9 children were born in different parts of the East Riding. He retired aged 51 when he was in Bubwith. Laura and Emma died aged 2 & 3. Does anybody know if there were any epidemics at this time? I have a list which shows that from 1871-73 there was a smallpox outbreak.

Hi Pauoline, In researching our local war memorial, I discovered that one of our men and been a policeman, The archives of the local police force are at the county archives and I was able to get his complete work record. If you can get hold of your gt grandfather's record and need help with understanding it, I am willing to give it a go. My late husband was in the job, as is my son in law now so I do know something about how the police work. There have been several amalgamations of small police forces. Perhaps your first port of call should be the catalogue at Beverley and then the HQ of the now force for the area (sorry I do not know which one covers ERY).
