Has anyone ever obtained the Police Service records for their ancestors.
My grandfather was a policeman at Thornhill Road Police Station in 1901, and was actually at the Police station when the census took place. He was still a Policeman on the 1911 census but at home so I don't know where he was based, and on his death certificate it states he was a retired Police constable - that was in 1943.
I did email the Police museum but didn't get a reply.
I would like to obtain a copy of his records if I can, but I will have to either try to persuade an old friend to go, or pay a researcher as I am an offshore brummie now living in Australia.
Any advice or information would be gratefully received.
