I think my grandfather transferred from the City of London Police to Watford around the 1900’s.
I am searching his ancestry.
I have photos of him and his brother in uniform.
I think Grandad’s number was C104; his brother 149.
Their names were Arthur John Hadder and William Hadder.
Can you verify this, please ?

Diane, If you ring Herts Police Headquarters, 01707 354000 and ask to speak to someone connected to The Hertfordshire Police Historical Society you may be lucky concerning your two police brothers.
Diane – if you search this site for Hadder using the box on the top right of the page you’ll find there are a few newspaper reports listed which mention a PC or PS Hadder. They date from 1906, so could refer to your Grandad.
