Emma died 14 Aug 1874 in Monmouth
He married Sarah Heather 2 Nov 1875 in  Mitchel Troy, Monmouthshire
He was Superintendent of Abergavenny 1855 and Superintendent of Monmouth 1857
As you say plenty of Newspaper reports for him as a Superintendent
But where were they in 1861
The thing that is bugging me is there are reports in 1849 and 1851 about Sergeant Wheeldon of Nailsworth then two in 1852 for PC wheeldon in Cheltenham
then what was going on here?
