I am searching for descendants of Walter and Evelyn Miles. The family 0riginate from Gloucester in the 1860's and eventually resided in Birmingham. They adopted a son, George Radway-Miles and a daughter Winifred. Walter was a Police Sergeant in the Birmingham City Police and Evelyn has the honours of being one of the first ever police women in Birmingham being recruited in 1917. I have found them on the 1911 census but then the trial goes cold. I am struggling to find anything further on George (his death certificate may be helpful) and of course Winfred may have changed her name. There is/was clearly some family member who was interested in the family tree in 2005 as they have put an entry onto Curious Fox. I have attempted to answer their appeal for information but without success. I guess the email address may have changed by now etc. Has somebody boasted to you that there grandmother was the first female Birmingham Police officer, certainly a talking point.
