Casebook Message Boards: Police Officials: General Discussion: Police in 1881 census
Author: chris scott Saturday, 07 December 2002 - 06:27 pm | |
I have been doing a research project that involved tracing as many of the police officers involved in the JTR case in the 1881 census. As one person on the boards has already asked for this by e-mail, I thought it might be worth posting so here goes: Police officers listed in JTR A-Z DOB = Date of birth ABBERLINE, FREDERICK GEORGE INSP. 1843-1929 1881: Police Station 160 Commercial Street (name spelled ABERLINE in 1881 Census) ALLEN, JOSEPH PC 423H 1881 - cannot trace ANDERSON, ROBERT ASST COMMISSIONER 1841-1918 1881- cannot trace ANDREWS, WALTER INSP B.1847 1881 - cannot trace ANDREWS, WALTER PC 1881 - Fleur de Lis St Comm Corner Police Station DOB.1858 ARNOLD, THOMAS SUPT B.1835 1881 - 14a Arbour Square East DOB given as 1838 BADHAM, EDWARD SGT 31H B.1862 1881 - Police Station 422 Mare Street - Rank PC DOB 1860 BARRETT, THOMAS PC226H B.1857? 1881 - 126 Manchester Road DOB 1856 Born Ireland BARRY/BERRY SGT 31H 1881 - Insufficient info BECK, WALTER INSP B.1852 1881 - 56 Blurton Road Rank SGT DOB 1853 BRADFORD, EDWARD RIDLEY COLBORNE COMMISSIONER 1836-1911 1881 - cannot trace BRUCE, ALEXANDER CARMICHAEL ASST COMMISSIONER 1850-1926 1881 - cannot trace BYFIELD, JAMES GEORGE SGT CANSBY, WILLIAM SGT B.1852 1881 - 123 Gladstone Building Rank PC DOB 1849 CARTWRIGHT PC 1881 - Insufficient info CAUNTER, ELI SGT B.1852 1881 - Police Station 1 Bow Road DOB 1853 CHANDLER, JOSEPH LUNISS INSP B.1850 1881 - cannot trace COLLARD, EDWARD INSP 1846-1892 1881 - cannot trace COLLINS, EDWARD ALBERT PC 426H 1881 - cannot trace CUNNINGHAM, JAMES HENRY INSP B.1868 1881 - 60 Romney Street 13yo Scholar CUTBUSH, CHARLES HENRY INSP 1844-1896 1881 - 36 St Pauls Road, Newington Surrey DOB 1845 DEW, WALTER CHIEF INSP 1863-1947 1881 - none born in 1863 - 1 in 1862, 3 in 1864 ELLIOTT, GEORGE DC B.1860 1881 - cannot trace FERRETT, ARTHUR INSP B.1844 1881: found HENRY FERRETT Insp of Police at 24 Mulkern Road DOB 1847 FOSTER, ALFRED DS 1826-1897 1881 - cannot trace FRASER, JAMES COMMISSIONER (CITY) 1814-1892 1881 - 33 Onlsow Gdns DOB 1815 GALLAGHER PC 221H 1881 - insufficient info GODLEY, GEORGE DS 1858-1941 1881: cannot trace GOULDING, ROBERT PC 1881 - cannot trace HALSE, DANIEL DC B.1839 1881 - 28 Jewin Crescent Rank PC (City) DOB 1843 HART PC 161H 1881 - insufficient info HARVEY, JAMES PC (CITY) 1881 - Bishopsgate Street Police Station DOB 1855 HELSON, JOSEPH HENRY INSP B.1845 1881 - 36 Warwick Street, Lambeth Rank DS DOB 1846 HOLLAND PC (CITY) 1881 - Insufficient info HOWARD, ANDREW CHARLES CHIEF CONSTABLE 1881 - cannot trace HUNT, BAXTER DI (CITY) 1881 - 21 Cannon Street Rank DC DOB 1846 HUTT, GEORGE PC (CITY) 1881 - cannot trace JOHNSON, JOHN PC (CITY) Search ongoing KEATON, LEWIS HENRY INSP 1870-1970 1881 - 23 Chapel Street, Alverstoke, Hampshire Age 11 Scholar LAMB, HENRY PC 252H 1881 - 18 Rutland Street DOB 1852 LEESON, BENJAMIN CHARLES SGT B.1870 1881 - 2 Alfred Cottages DOB 1871 Scholar LITTLECHILD, JOHN INSP 1881 - 6 Winchester Terrace DOB 1848 LONG, ALFRED PC 254A 1881 - cannot trace MCCARTHY, JOHN PC B.1863 1881 - cannot trace MACNAGHTEN, MELVILLE LESLIE ASST COMMISSIONER Not on Census - was in India MCWILLIAM, JAMES INSP 1881 - 13 King Edward Street On census as McWillams DOB 1837 MITCHELL, JOHN DS (CITY) Search ongoing MIZEN, JONAS PC 56H B.1848 1881 - St Andrews St School Forename on census as JONES MONRO, JAMES ASST COMMISSIONER 1838-1920 1881 - not on census - in India MONSELL, BOLTON CHIEF CONSTABLE 1881 - Hamble Cottage, Hamble Le Rice, Hampshire Major in Army DOB 1841 Forename on census is DOLTON and son of same name registered MOORE, HENRY CHIEF INSP B.1848 1881 - 42 Liverpool Street, Newington, Surrey DOB 1849 MOULSON, GEORGE PC 1862-1905 1881 - 2 Medcalf Road, Enfield, Middlesex DOB 1863 Apprentice to grocer NEIL, JOHN PC 97J B.1850 1881 - 119 Wormington Road DOB 1851 NEVE, GEORGE PC 101H 1881 - 175 Columbia Square DOB 1851 PATRICK, JOHN PC 91H B.1860 1881 - 74 Leman Street Police Station DOB 1855 PEARSE, RICHARD PC (CITY) 1881 - 4 High Street, Heston DOB 1841 PENNETT, WILLIAM PC 239H 1881 - 58 Loanda Street DOB 1845 Labourer PHELPS SGT (CITY) Insufficient info PINHORN, CHARLES INSP B.1849 1881 - 33 Burgoyne Road, Lambeth Rank Sgt RACE, WILLIAM NIXON INSP B.1855 1881 - 68 Hargwyne Street, Lambeth Rank PC Names as William A REID, EDMUND JOHN JAMES INSP B.1846 1881 - 36 Alpha Square, Newington, Surrey Rank DS ROBINSON, LOUIS FREDERICK PC (CITY) 1881 - 13 Louis Street, Liverpool DOB 1846 On census as Lewis F.
