The probate of his will states probate granted 27th March
RAYNOR WILLIAM BOWLES the will of William B Raynor late of 39, Broad Street in the Town of Nottingham - GENTLEMAN who died 13/03/1874 at 39, Broad Street was proved at Nottingham by Joseph Berrington of Great-Freeman-Street Nottingham Inspector of Police the sole executor.
Effects under £100

Have you tried the Police Museum they keep a lot of details on their past policeman it may be possible to get details from them,  or the local library , also a good source of info, I am wondering if this address was a rest home for retired policeman as he had a police inspector in charge of his will.
