Find Ancestors

My Gt Aunts Husband was in the police in Liverpool his beat was Scotland Road, I know he was there in 1918 but cant find anything about them at that time, anyone know any way I can find out any records of the Police officers at that time? His name was Raymond Ashburne and he was born in 1889. Thanks Heather

Found by googling - may help you

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/policeofficer.htm

This is a brief guide to help you with your research. Only the records of the Metropolitan Police, the Royal Irish Constabulary and a few relating to the Transport Police are held at The National Archives. Surviving records of other police forces are held either by local archives or the relevant force. Not all police staff records have survived.

Do you know where he was born

Could this be him

Thank you for the info Stuart I will try the link.

Fredk I do know where Ray was born you are right it was Ambleside but I lost them after their marriage in 1911 in Preston and knowing he was in Liverpool as a constable in 1918, but the fact he was a constable is all I know from family.

Most police forces have their own archives so you might contact the Lancashire Constabulary HQ to see where they keep their old records.

Try the above links, your relative doesn't appear to be on the Lancashire database, but the rootschat link gives contact details for someone with access to Liverpool records.
