Police Officer Hero-David Prendergast 1929

[Bertieone]

I've posted it on a Wirral based forum, surprised it wasn't already on, there's a lot of Wallasey people on there, so fingers crossed.

[Fledge]

Wallasey Borough did have its own Police Force from 1913

I didn't know that! Neither did hubby and he was born here.

Of course, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that this watch was sold on at some point in the past.

Sorry not been around for lookups recently, but this probably isn't relevant. However

1914 directory has a James Prendergast a police sergeant living at 41 Burdett St Toxteth Park.
Not sure whether he was David's father and the police ran in the family.

Thank you so much for your email, it most certainly sounds like the David Prendergast in my family. If correct this is my Gt grandmothers brother. Let me find more info and back to you. Thank you so much.

Copy of email just received

Hope so

Ah Sue, bless you & your Norah:)

I did see one tree also with a young Kevin mentioned, wasn't sure at that time if it was the right Family so left it, just in case the owner read it here.

What a grand bunch of people you all are. thank you so much for hopping onboard here & seemingy bringing about a resolution, & what a great commendation for the folk on this forum. Let's hope it's been won.

Hi i have just registered to this site further to Sue advising me of the David Prendergast story. I am 100% sure this is my ancestry David Prendergast. I have posted a letter to the address provided (PO Box 39764) and i have also visited thier facebook page but on facebook it will not let me email or post any message so i guess i will have to wait for a reply when they recieve my leter. This is a fantastic story and the watch deserves to be on show perhaps in the Wallasey area.?

Sue i can not thank you enough for contacting me.!

I will keep you posted and if anyone has any suggestions to what i should do, please advise.

Kind Regards
Louise

Oh yay, oh yay! good stuff Louise. If you'd like, p m me a message & I'll post it on. I'm on facebook but would like to hand it to Sandra who first brought it to my attention, she is also a local N.T. Lass.


Love it when a good thing comes together.
Welcome aboard Louise.

[Fledge]

Hurray! What a lovely outcome.

[MaryA]

Brilliant result, I'm so pleased.

[Wendyem]

Wondering if Louise has had any good news on this story yet.
I saw some negative comments on the local N.T. facebook page, how grudging to resent a feel-good story. I thought it was very good of the detective to bring to light something concerning a fellow police officer.

Watch owner found!

[Bertieone]

Perhaps Louise has now found a relative she didn't know about.
Every cloud, and all that.

Hoping so Bertie. Trees can never have enough branches.
