Hello Keith, I have nothing on Williams other service, I was pleased to read that you had some paperwork on him and his truncheon. So much has been destroyed within the police it took me ages to find out what I have. The newspaper archives are a great source for information, they will be even better when more newspapers are online.

Many thanks for the quick replies, and to think I was stationed at Ebrington Barracks in the 1970's in reality not far from the birthplace of my great great grandfather, but never knew it.

Hi, I have researched Cambridgeshire Constabulary for many years now. I can say that there is no personnel record for William Garnham Turrall. From my research he joined Cambridge Borough Police 02/12/1858 as Superintendent (classed as Head Constable from Feb 1859), he retired on pension sometime around 24/02/1889. Prior to joining Cambridge Borough he was superintendent of police at Colchester. (colchester was a smaller force) and prior to this on 1851 census he was a police inspector at Rugeley in Staffordshire. I have his death as 29/12/1891. His son Walter Garnham Turrall also joined Cambridge Borough police as an Inspector (clerk) on 29/06/1871 he was promoted Chief Inspector in 1885 and retired on pension on 28/11/1901

Hi, Albert Edward Cornwell joined the Cambridgeshire Constabulary on 01/10/1919 and retired on pension on 02/04/1946. I have his birth date as 14/03/1899. He served in the army in world war one from 28/08/1915 and was discharged on 22/03/1919. I do not know what regiment he served in.
Hope this helps.

Derry (Londonderry) / Abraham Phillips from Glendermott nr Carn
« on: Sunday 02 December 12 17:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am researching my great great grandfather Abraham Phillips born circa 1823. From an army record he served in the 85th Regt and on his discharge it states he was born in Glendermott near Carn, Londonderry. I would like to know where Glendermott and Carn are exactly. And the best place to start my research for his parents.
I would also like to know if Lower Cumber is anywwhere near the locations mentioned.
