Dundee Police
« on: Sunday 19 September 10 11:51 BST (UK) »
Morning

I have a relative who appears on the 1901 census as a Police Sergeant living at Wellgate Dundee. His name was John Robertson and was born in Kirriemuir on 4th April 1870. Are there any police archives available?
I can't find his death or any note of a marriage anywhere?

Thanks
Jim

I have looked up SP and there are two John Robertsons who have died in 1928 but neither are him.

I was very fortunate when I contacted the Police Museum, Dundee some years ago and not only got my ancester's work record from 1848 to 1892 but a photograph of him in uniform.
