X John Henry and John MOSELEYColin Andrew MOSELEYDear Mrs Allenby,Thank you for your enquiry via Mr. McDonaldrequesting information on your father and brother.First I have to point out a few things, sadly wedo not have a photograph of either, that is to saywe may, there are literally hundreds ofphotographs of officers, but their names werenever recorded on the reverse of the photograph,but if you do the Museum would very muchappreciate a copy.The Cheshire Constabulary was formed in April1857; there are many thousands of records, theseare held by the Cheshire Record Office, Chester. Ias a retired Police officer and voluntary PoliceMuseum Researcher am slowly extracting theserecords. Cheshire Police Officer Enrolment Recordsare held under Reference CJP7 Volumes 1-5. Thesefive volumes are very large and in poor condition,run from 1857- 22 March 1913, these records arevery detailed. After this date and on theretirement of an officer it appears thatsuccessive civilian administration departmentswithin the police service, destroyed most of thepersonal records causing a very large gaps as towhat an officer did or did not do. So sadly I onlyhave the minimum amount of information for you.Again if there is any information that you haveand you would like to part with it, I will bedelighted to add it to their records.I understand from Mr. McDonald that you would liketo visit the Police Museum this is located atWarrington Police Station, Arpley Street,Warrington. The Museum is open via priorappointment on Mondays and Fridays. If Mr.McDonald contacts the Curator directly ontime and as I have already spoken with the Curatorhe says he will be delighted to show around.If you have any further questions please don'thesitate to contact me.
