Help needed! Manchester 1867 policeman shooting!!!

[Gaille]

Very saddened at what I found today during a grave hunt with Goldy & Migky.

Police Sergeant Charles Brett Headstone pushed over and broke in two.

I am going to take this up the Mancheters Chief Constable, it should not be left in that state

Ohhh thats awful Ken.
I just read thru the posting on here & to see the headstone on an earlier post & what it looks like today is so sad.

Do let us know how you get on whith the Chief Constable, at the end of the day its police history as well as social history so he should try & do something.

Hi Rose,
I believe we were related to Charles Brett on my Grandmothers side, he was a Great, great Grandfather, I have been speaking to my mum about it today, will see if we can find out any more information and update you.  Really interesting reading this thread.
