I have access to these online up to 1930, but I still think it was a great value purchase, I have a lot more variance in searches I can do and a lot happens in those extra 8 yrs. Great value, thank you Gould.

Whether you're researching a person or a specific event, Police Gazettes are often the best place to start. It will be easier to find other sources, and newspaper reports, if you use Gazettes to find dates and places.

Police Gazettes are very useful for 'problem solving' in family history, and they provide clues for tracing people who disappeared. The Gazettes contain information about crimes, offenders, victims of crime and many other people and events (missing persons; deserters from H.M. Service; ship's deserters; wife/child deserters; friends, relatives and others sought for various reasons; prisoners; persons suspected of committing offences; neglected children; deaths; inquests; licences issued; appointments of police officers, stock inspectors, doctors, JPs, registrars etc.; and lots more). Notices often give the subject's age, place of origin, occupation, a detailed physical description, and (if applicable) aliases, place of arrest, offence, trial date/place, sentence, prison etc., and perhaps a photograph, immigration details or other particulars.
