John Hallam

  Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: police officer, at the time of the census in April 1861. ⁵⁴ He was the living in Stapleford, Notts (probably on Nottingham Road) with his wife.

• Occupation: Inspector or Police, at the time of the census in April 1871. ⁵⁵ He was the living with his wife and their two sons at Church Row, Eckington, Derbys

• Occupation: Superintendent of Police, St the time of the census in April 1881 and April 1891. ^56,57 He was then living at Markaet Street, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire with his wife and a visitor, Jane Exon. This location was probably the local police station as, in 1881, there was a prisoner present on census night. It is not clear what, if any, was the relationship of the Hallams to Jane Exon; as she was, in early censuses, to be found as a domestic servant to other families, it is possible that she did serve the family at some earlier time. She continued to live with the family and followed them into retirement.

• Residence: 6 Cambridge Road, Blackpool, Lancashire, by the time of the census in March 1901. ⁵⁸ By this time, he was living with his wife in retirement. Jane Exon continued to live with them as a "visitor".

John married Catherine Dix, daughter of William Dix and Isabella Day, on 20 Dec 1860 in St Peters, Nottingham.¹ (Catherine Dix was born on 21 Jan 1835 in Beeston, Notts ^{42,43,44,45,46,47,48} and was baptised on 15 Feb 1835 in Beeston Parish Church, Notts ⁴⁹.)
