Bedfordshire / Re: Police superintendent in Bedfordshire in the 1920s.
« on: Saturday 04 February 23 10:14 GMT (UK)  »
Not sure if you received my pm's before this thread was moved to the Bedfordshire board. There are a few newspaper items that mention Frederick William WARREN and his police career.

there is an item from 1910 in the Daily Telegraph which mentions Sergeant Frederick William WARREN of Hitchin - he discovered the body of a dead child in a vegetable patch, (how tragic and horrifying).

Also a note of his retirement as Police Superintendent in 1923 due to ill health

I have attentively considered how I
could carry out H.E wish, but without
being able to ? ? of doing so.
I forwarded Mr Pineo ? to the
duties of a punishment gang, and therefore ?
him to a hiring depot. - he is quite
unfit even for
that duty and is so far there
service of the Department as regards the
management of convicts, altogether. It is
 impossible to work with ? ?.
? beg leave to request to HE to
employ Mr Pineo in the Medical Department
on the 1st February (10s a day) a ? to give
him (a salary 100 a year ? to employed)
or until Lord Stanleys ? ?
giving the other 10 to an Captain ? and to
Mr Pineo duty:- thus no extra expenses
to be ?. ? I ?
HE that ? cannot ? ?
tolerably back under his superintendence.

Hello dgswatson and welcome to RootsChat.

Unfortunately most of the people who have responded to this thread as relatives have not been on-line for quite a few years. However, hopefully they still have the same email address and will receive notification of your post.

Exchanging email addresses can be done through the personal message system. You need to make 3 posts before you can access the system. A simple couple of responses to this thread should do it. However, as I say, it depends whether the previous posters are still picking up emails.  :)
