Now you've got me wondering, Kite.

On this thread
http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/f...ad.php?t=11126
I was looking for Charlie Johnson and his wife Maggie/Margret nee Berry, my grandfather's sister. Family lore has it that they might have died in Manchester in the bombing, but there are an awful lot of Johnsons.

Anyway I jumped to search in the Manchester Police Index 1812-1941 and found only one hit for a Charlie Johnson on there:

Search criteria used:
First name(s): Charlie (including variants)
Last name: Johnson
Year of event: 1935 +/- 20 years

Results:
1 record found.

Last name First name(s) Year of event Place County
JOHNSON Charles Leigh 1927 Warrington Lancashire

I don't think this is the Charlie I'm after, but I'm curious because the general area is right. Can anyone with FMP possibly see what it is?

Aha! So he's joining the Manchester police force in December 1927, it looks like. Thanks very much, Elizabeth.
