X Seibert WILLIAMS.Dear Mike,Thank you for your nicely worded request forinformation concerning Seibert you would besurprised how many enquires we get from people whonever say please or thank you, but first I have topoint out a few things. Sadly we do not have aphotograph, that is to say we may but we are stilltrying to sort out them out, but if you do wewould appreciate a scanned copy for our records.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; post this date as Isaid the short sightedness of the Constabulary hasfailed to keep records of officers in greatdetail. The information regarding his marriage isretained in CJP24/2, 1847-1966.I say all this because I want to try and reassureyou that what I give you is as it appears in therespective volumes. However if you so wish, youcan of course have the records confirmed by theChester Records Office Archivist. But it would beremiss of me if I did not point out that whilstthis Museum works on maximum charge of £10, yoursbeing £8 the Record Office however, will chargeyou a minimum of £27 per search per volume;therefore your total bill would be £54, so pleasebe aware. This is where we are taking the enquireron trust if you can make the cheque payable to the'Museum of Policing in Cheshire' and send it tothe Curator, Mr. Peter Wroe at the address at thebottom of the page.If you also read the history of the CheshireConstabulary "To the Best of Our Skill andKnowledge" which is on the Museum Web Site, I feelcertain that a useful picture can be obtained oflife in the force at the time, my own opinion isthat discipline was draconian and those whostrayed outside the rules were fined way abovewhat they earned or dismissed. Also therestrictions on their private life, an officer wasnot allowed to drink on or off duty even in hisown home. It all comes down to the fact that upuntil the 1960's every Chief Constable of Cheshirewas an ex military officer and they of coursebrought with them the military codes of practice.Can I ask you when you get a moment would you senda quick mail so I can mark of your enquiry ascompleted? If you have any further questionsplease don't hesitate to contact me. Jim Talbot.Trustee and Researcher, Cheshire Museum ofPolicing.Collar Number/Rank.
