Hi Tiddy
It could be worthwhile getting in touch with these people.
They seem very dedicated and I feel they could point you in the
right direction.
Anything is worth a try..

look at

http://www.policehistorysociety.co.uk/phsframe4.htm


This is a very active police history society covering the Durham area. I am sure they will be both interested in your reserch and probably able to help you. The Durham force was not formed until 1840. Your relative is a senior officer possibly one of the first in the force, i am sure they will find some details of him

Good luck
