X Samuel WILKINS.Dear Gillian (if I may be so bold)Thank you for your enquiry concerning Samuel. Thefollowing information is held in the MuseumArchives, Sadly there is no further information onSamuel basically because he is recorded as a anofficer of "Very Good Character" had he not beenso there would have been a lot more detail in hisrecord. We do not have a photograph of Samuel,however if you do, we would appreciate a scan sowe can add it to his file. If you also read thehistory of the Cheshire Constabulary "To the Bestof Our Skill and Knowledge" which is on the MuseumWeb Site, I feel certain that a useful picture canbe obtained of life in the force at the time.Sincere best wishes to you Jim Talbot Trustee andResearcher Museum of Policing in Cheshire.Collar Number/Rank.
