HQ Reserve Division, Chester.Other Postings and Dates. 5th November 1891 DDivision (Altrincham)Miscellaneous Information. Previous OccupationLabourer, Religion Protestant, Height 5' 10", Age25, Eyes Brown, Hair Brown, Complexion Fresh,Build Proportional, Tattoo of Dots on both hands,Scar on right shin. Certificate of Service withcharacter marked "Good" sent 27th July 1895.I have noted two things from this miscellaneousinformation, when he married in 1883 hisoccupation was recorded as 'Chemist' yet above, itstates previous occupation 'Labourer'. I doublechecked the original entry and it does clearlystate 'Chemist' it is possible that this wasincorrectly inserted in the Police MarriageRegister but the only way to confirm this is toPurchase a copy of the marriage certificate. His'Certificate of Service' is marked 'Good' this maybe correctly marked but his discipline record forthe length of time he served is 'poor' as otherofficers with similar lengths of service and withlesser discipline records have had theirCertificate marked 'Poor' or indeed were refusedone. This is not a criticism of George heavenknows the job conditions were awful and disciplinematters draconian, I am merely pointing out theinterest.This is an extraction of the Royal IrishConstabulary for the years 1816-1921 For more information about this database,click here.The Generations NetworkPromotion.
