Can anyone tell me where I can see original records for the 1885/92. I have found in 3 Birmingham newspapers in the Aston Police Courts section, reference to my g/grandfather Alfred Skinner who was arrested for leaving his family chargeable to the Aston Union. He was sentenced to 3mths hard labour each time. He was apprehended on 20th Sept by P.C. Harry Wilson, for which the P.C was given a reward of £1. This time he'd absconded from the Tramps Ward without performing his allotted task. Would like to see records of his arrests. I'm a descendant of one 'hardened criminal' :o

I've had info sent to me from the City, and from Surrey Police Museum, and I've also found records relating to my Gx2-g-father's service in the early days of the Hampshire Police in Basingstoke.
It's included physical descriptions as well as references to other employments.
I haven't had occasion to try to track down those on the other side of the law (except that said Basingstoke policeman was "allowed to resign" for getting into debt! :o).

I think the local newspaper reports would give the most comprehensive information. But you could try the relevant county records office or police force to see whether archived material has survived and if so where it is available.~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy
