Thanks to Alex, I have found the location of my ggg grandfather in Mauchline, where he is working as a Policeman. In 1871 and 1881 when he retired back to his place of birth in Dumfries, he is shown as being on a Police pension. Can anyone advise me as to how I can find his police records which Im sure would exist after a long career as Police man and Superintendent in Maucline?
