MEPO 211852-1993Metropolitan Police: Records of Police Pensioners
Registers of pensions awarded to Metropolitan Police officers who retired or resigned from the force between 1852 and 1993, and who were granted, or who (after 1890) qualified for, a police pension.
The records include personal information about the officer, such as his or her date and place of birth, marital status, parents and next of kin, service details and, from 1923, details of spouse (date of birth and place of their marriage).
The series contain some volumes relating to widows' pensions between 1918-1989.
The first 19 pieces, covering the period from 1852 to 1890, have been indexed and are now searchable by name in the catalogue.
