Occupation Interests / Inland Revenue Police Register at National Archives, Kew
« on: Saturday 20 February 16 15:54 GMT (UK) »
I have spent almost 4 years trying to track down my gg grandfather, Edward Hay.
He lived in Coleraine, Co Londonderry, from the time of his marriage (if not before) in 1831 until his death in 1890. On his marriage record, he is described as a 'policeman' and I was hopeful of finding him in the Royal Irish Constabulary register; but he's not there.
A genealogist has suggested Edward may have been a revenue policeman, the register of which, I understand, is in Kew. These records have not been digitised and it requires someone in person to visit/look up.
I live in Belfast!
Is there any other way of accessing these records, can anyone tell me?
I would be so grateful for any help or guidance.
Thank you.
Gail
