Many thanks for this and looking up in the booklet Elinor. The records you
mention possibly contain info about George GORDGE that I would like to
access. Does the Glam RO have some sort of facility for overseas searchers
like myself/what is my best avenue for accessing these records?
Best wishes

Eluned, when I enquired about Cardiff records last year, I was told
that
all
documents have been transfered to the Glamorgan Record Office in
Cardiff.

They have produced a little booklet, "Guides to Research, No 7 Police
Records". Some books are listed in this, but not the one you are looking
for. The booklet says "Swansea Borough Police Force (ref D/D Con/S) was
established in 1836. It was maintained as a separate force until 1969 with
the formation of the South Wales Police Authority."
Records held by the Glam RO include
Reports and annual reports of Chief Constable to Watch Committee, 1879-83,
1908-15, 1921-68
Orders of Chief Constable, 1921-66
Personnel files, 1920s-1969 (with photographs)
