I've just found out that one of my anecestors (Thomas RAMSEY) was a police constable in the Westminster area of London in 1865 - I've even got his officer number. Does anyone know where I might be able to find any records relating to him? |

Debbie, In last months Family Tree Magazine (August, Vol 21, No. 9) there is a good article on the Metropolitan Police. Gives a list of where to get information. Derek |

If he was in the Met his files will be at Kew. You can find his service record quickly if you have his warrant number from police-orders, but if he's not on the database, you can still get his warrant from microfilm at Kew. The service records are arranged in warrant number order in large ledger-type books and give physical description, place and date of birth, previous employer etc. If he stayed till retirement, you can also get his pension details - how much his final salary was, his pension per year, where it was to be paid and whether he was married and had children. nell |
