Irish Police Force, New Inn, Tipperary 1834

[steviepeas]

I have a reference to the Irish Police force of 1833/34 policing in the area of New Inn, Tipperary, under the command of Edward Morton Sergeant in the Irish Constabulary. the reference appears in the Conmel Herald where he is mentioned in the investigations of several incidences, where the Police Office at New Inn seems to be the local HQ in 1833/34. Does anyone have access to records of his service to assist me please.

For Edward Morton, here are his potential service numbers (via FindMyPast)-

First name(s)        Last name   Event year      Service number        Place       Document type
Edwd                     Morton             1816                   30167                       —                General Register - Index, Vol 1
Edwd                     Morton             1816                   14025                       —                General Register - Index, Vol 1

The FindMyPast index transcriptions are quite misleading. The registers reveal that 30167 Edwd Morton was aged 20 in 1850, and 14025 Edwd Morton was aged 19 in 1865.

Hi. Thanks for the info re Edward Morton. I asked an expert about His records and i was advised there was no such person of the dates you kindly forwarded. It now gives some credence to Johnston, his sons statement on his last marriage cert that his father was a sergeant in the Irish constabulary. Thanks

I think he was right. I can't see anything either.

True there are no records in the files but the newspaper reports mention him so presumably he existed but perhaps the files don’t.
