Hi Lynn,

If we were playing Bridge I'd probably trump you.

Trawling through The Times in search of Abberline's early career, I found him mentioned in 1867, 1870, 1871 and 1872 as Police Sergeant 24Y [Highgate].

I then entered 24Y into the search engine and found "Police-sergeant 24Y" reported as ALBERTINE—10th September 1867.

I next entered ALBERTINE into The Times' search engine and found this report from 27th September 1864—just twenty months after ABBERLINE joined the Met.



Regards,

Simon
