Hi,
Just a quick quiry about my 3rd Great Grandfather, Joseph Darrall.
I have found an entry in the London Gazetta, for 1839, which tells me he is in prison (bankruptcy). He was a Butcher, which I know he was!
I know from christening's, the 1841 Census, and one line in the Birmingham Police Records, that Joseph served in the police force from about 1839 to about 1842.
I had it all set out in my mind that it was possible, but I was talking to someone the other day who said it would never have happened!
But can he be the same person? Would a victorian society allow a prisoner to become a police man?
