I have heard from several sources of the sad death of Retired Police Constable James (Jim) STAPLES Pc1073 (93yrs) who I am given to understand was the Edwinstowe Beat Officer for many years.

Jim served between September 1954 and retired in October 1983.

At this time I am having problems contacting a family member but I believe he has a daughter who reported his passing. If anyone can help to identify his daughter and point her in my direction I would be most grateful.

I am aware that his funeral is to be held at Ollerton Crematorium on Thursday 19th December 2024 at 1pm.

Our thoughts and condolences are extended to the family at this very sad time.
