Hello again Genie. There is a chance, given the amount of time that he served (abt. 25 yrs), that there's a pension record for him. I would imagine that it would be under <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATLN=6&CATID=109772&SearchInit=4&CATREF=MEPO+21%2F29">MEPO 21/29</a>, as this record covers that period of time.

The National Archives has a guide called <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=104">Metropolitan Police (London): Records of Service</a> that might be of some use should you look further.

Hi Barnaby,

thank you again.

The guide is most informative about the codes used within each record. I now know that gt. grandad left with an excellent record  :)

I already have a copy of his retirement records (provided by a cousin) but I will have a go at searching for his retirement records at The National Archives.

ok, very silly question:
I've found the correct page on flickr;

I can see the thumbnail and get a larger version. How to I enlarge the "larger version"?

Hi BarnabyP,
Well done, there's a huge amount of work involved in there. 

I've had a look through for an ancestor who was in the Mounted Police in London in 1872. Do you have any records that early?
Best wishes, Jimmijam

I don't have any photos of documents that cover that period of time. Sorry Jimmijam.

Good luck with the searching.
