Hi Helen, I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you direct but my request is a bit vague. I know I have a policeman in my tree, first name either Arthur or Frederick AGER/AGAR 1900'S. He was born Cambridgeshire. I know not much to go on. Thanks in advance. June

Hi Helen - many thanks for the info on Percy Savage. If you have time could you please look-up his father - Frederick Savage (1848-1923) - also in the Met. Regards, Sheelagh

Hi Helen, I'm on the look out for anything on William BALL, Metropolitan Police: number 24833, joined 11 Oct 1847 resigned 15 Jan 1854. He was a Serjiant of Police at his daughter's wedding in 1849, when his daughter gave her address as Bridport Street (Marylebone / Paddington). Anything more on William BALL would be tremendous - I can't find him in the 1851 census. Thanks, Stephen

Sheelagh This is all there is Date Warrant First name Last name Rank Number Station Reason PO Date 18/06/1897 82350 FREDERICK SAVAGE INSP CO 7 Day Rejoin nell

Brian This is all there is for William Carder - don't lose it! 25/02/1907 94275 WILLIAM CARDER PC 468 W JOINED W = Brixton. Nothing at all for Thomas John Wellington :-( nell

Stephen Sorry, nothing. nell

Hi Helen My Great great uncle, Philip John Giles Moyes, was listed as a metropolitan policeman in 3 censuses, which didn't make sense to me as he lived in Plymouth. I notice that you said the Metropolitan Police covered some dockyards. He was born on 23 Dec 1855 and was listed as a Metropolitan policeman on the 1881 census (Police Quarters, Keyham Yard, Stoke Damerel), 1891 census (Calstock, Cornwall) and the 1901 census (the ship 'Leda', Hamoaze (part of Plymouth sound)). I can't find his death (looked up to 1955!) If you can find any information about him I'd be very grateful - he intrigues me and has no living descendents as far as I can find out. Thanks. Maggie

Maggie This is all there is, but you can use his warrant number to find out more at Kew. Date Warrant First name Last name Rank Number Station Reason PO Date 16/06/1911 O3572 PHILIP MOYES PC P 21 day rejoin P is Stoke Newington. Of course, this may not be YOUR Philip, in which case you will need to spend longer at Kew!!! nell

hello nell i have not got a lot on this gentleman name william steeden born 1846 living in wandsworth in 1871 police constable died in 1873 aged 28 years any thing would be a help thankyou diana

Hi Helen - many thanks for info on Fred Savage. Regards, Sheelagh

Hi Helen Many thanks - a trip to Kew is on the cards, I think! Maggie

Hi Helen I'd be most grateful if you could look up a SAMUEL DAVAGE who was in the Met during the 1930's or 40's I think. He was killed whilst on duty and was my grandfathers brother. I'd love any info you can find on him Thanks Kieth

Diana Sorry, no Steeden of the right era! :-( nell
