    • Hi Sarah,
      Hugh Abercrombie was not mentioned in the related article.

      If you have information on Hugh, I would be more than happy to do a Memorial Post for him, upon the website.

      I can tell you that he joined the Police on 24 February 1865, with Service number 1565, and was born in 1839 in Ireland.

      regards
