Photo - Sussex Policeman
« on: Sunday 26 July 09 22:59 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a photo of Henry GRANT (2xGreat Grand Uncle) born 1835, Eling, Hants. By 1861, Henry, 26 years old, has become a Police Constable in Sussex. He has his own household in a cottage in the parish of Easebourne. 

By 1881, Henry has been promoted to Sergeant and has moved to Horsham, Sussex at 8 Trafalgar.

By 1891, Henry is now retired and still living at 8 Trafalgar, Horsham, Sussex.

Would also like any photo of his contemporaries in the Sussex constabulary. between 1856 and 1890.  There is a publication that I am having difficult finding which may have references relevant to my ancestor.

SUSSEX POLICE FORCES: A Pictorial History from 1836 to 1986
by Neville Poulsom, Mike Rumble & Keith Smith
Published by Middleton Press. First Published July 1987

I am really interested in chapter 10: West Sussex Constabulary 1857-1967 (our time-frame is being about 1856 to 1890.)

Thanks for any help you might give or any suggestions regarding this matter.
Cheers
