From the 1891 census:

Edward Collard, head, M, 45, Chief Inspector, City of London Police, born: Gloucester Bristol
Amelia A, wife, M, 42, born: London
Amelia A, dau, 17, fancy trimming maker (tailorness), born: London City
Esther J, dau, 16, scholar, born: London City
Ellen E, dau, 14, scholar, born: London City
Emma S, dau, 10,scholar, born: London City
William J, son, 8, born: London City
Alice M, dau, 6, born: London City
Albert E, son, 4, born: London City
Also listed are the police constables present at the station in April, 1891:
Robert Riccon, 26
Arthur Andrews, 38
William Saridge, 38
William Whitehead, 25
Arthur Styles, 24
Arthur Sofier, 23
James Martin, 26

Horace Rouse, 20
Harry Burgess, 21
Zebedee (sp?) Claro, 19
Thomas Reeves, 26
William Vaughn, 28
William Reeves, 21
William Lenauter, 20
It is interesting that Collard and his family apparently resided at the station, perhaps because of his rank. One year after the census, Collard died with the rank of Chief Inspector. He was active in the investigation into the Eddowes murder and was one of the first policemen on the scene at Mitre Square.

Mind if I ask, where do you find census information? There's a photograph on this site (I think) of the policemen at the Leman Street station and I was curious to know who the men in the photo are. |
