Thanks Alan,this all seems a bit strange,could it all be because of a simple name change then?

Hi all,My uncle was a Special Constable in Lavenham in the 1930s,just wondering what his duties would have been.Also what powers did he have,he got two medals for long service as well.I didn't think Lavenham was the crime capital of England :)

Edwin Emil R Odebrecht (dob 19/4/1926 according to death reg) doesn't pop up with that spelling on Ancestry German records. 

Searching the surname only, no dob, in Germany brings up a number of Odebrecht names.

You may have to get the marriage cert for Father's name/occupation to get a better clue where to look.


Added in case you don't have the ref
