Barry Sorry, no John Drury. I think Acton is outside the Met Police area (or would have been pre 1900 anyway). The fact that your relie hadn't retired makes me suspicious as most Met police retired in their 40s/50s. I know Horn Lane slightly as I went to college in Acton - it was part of Ealing then and now the Thames Valley Uni. It's quite likely accommodation was provided. I know one of my Met police uncles is in a police section house with other recruits from the same village in the 1901 census. I suggest you contact the relevant records office to see if they hold any info of use to you. nell |

Linda Sorry, not there. You can still get his service record by finding his warrant number but both of these things involve visiting Kew. nell |

Hi One of my partner's relatives was an SC (does this mean Special Constable) in London. The only info we have for him is taken from the Metropolitan Police Book of Honour: 1915 SC Thomas Joseph Pinchon Killed by a bomb explosion at Holborn while reporting for duty during an enemy air raid. Would you mind looking to see if he had a Warrant Number? If he does, we might get more information about his family by going to the Record Office. Thank you. Su |

Susan Sorry, no Thomas Pinchon. You can still find out his warrant number, but you have to go to Kew to look it up on microfilm. nell |
