Excise officers

What a lot of potential records there are for Excise men. I certainly won't run out of things to look for at National Archives when I do get there. Fortunately my later excise man turns up in lots of other records (not work related) so information about him is a bit more accessible. 
Meanwhile, it will be fascinating to see what you find out about my mystery man, William Price.
Looking forward to it!

Thanks so very much!  I have sent you my email address in a PM.
I really appreciate the time you have spent on this. That shows real dedication.
Let me know if you ever need anything looked up in person here in New Zealand. I'd be happy to return the favour.

Got your message, Liz, and thanks for the offer

Ready to send now; files are large so there'll be several mails, let me know if any don't arrive

I have just had a quick read through, but will be studying the details more closely and find those places on the map. The records are really useful for tracing his movements. It confirms him in the place where his daughter was born, and the date and place where he died matches the details for letters of admin found elsewhere. With common names, it's hard to know when you've got the right person or someone else.
Great result, thanks again, StevieSteve!

Just to update, after finding that this excise officer was posted to Scotland briefly, before spending the rest of his career in Ireland, I have located his marriage in Glasgow. Yes!
