I'm looking for information on a:

William Treacy

What I have been told is that he was a Police Officer in London
He could have died in 1927 or during The Blitz Of London

Thanks!

What known details about him do you have so far? What census records does he appear in?
There's a family tree on Ancestry which has him in the USA. Does the tree belong to you?
This Ancestry tree has a 1969 death for him - which would make his age at death 111.  :-\

William Treacy appears to be a very common name, so any details about him you've confirmed so far will be helpful. When did he emigrate to the USA?

I know very little except for what I posted. I really don't  trust Ancestry.com records. Way to many errors by  others

This is probably the best records for William I have seen! Thanks!
