Eikroy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hello I am trying to find records for the Leeds WW1 Police Special Constables, my grandfather Harry Thompson was a member. Can any one help? Eikroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin Mk 3 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I don't know about Leeds Police but most forces haven't kept the records for Specials - this is certainly the case for the Met Police and also my local Force, Wiltshire Police. Also I suspect that when many of the older city and town polices were amalgamated into the county forces there would have been a major cull of records in most cases. So again many records for Leeds City Police may well have been dumped. The only help I can offer is that I did note on one website about Secret Leeds www.secretleeds.com there is a section on old police stations and one comment has been made - 'there is a great book called Leeds City Police in the Research Department of Leeds Central Library' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
