Default Puzzling change of occupation

William Giles on his daughter Mary's marriage in 1893 in Horninglow, Staffordshire is a Labourer. Mary born c 1867 in Abbotsley, Huntingdonshire

1871 census, William is a police officer, Mary is on page 2

Mary is listed as Harry on that one, I have submitted a correction.


His marriage to Sarah Charity in 1854 gives his occupation as a Railway Porter.

There is also a trial in 1845 where what looks like him is found Not Guilty

Can anyone find anything in newspapers maybe that would explain his sudden fall from grace?
