An early policeman

William Montague Glenister was born on 28 August 1828 at Marylebone, in the county of Middlesex. He was the son of coach maker William Glenister and his wife Elizabeth (nee Beale), who married in 1812 at St Anne's church, Soho, in the city of Westminster.

He enlisted in the Metropolitan Police as a Constable, warrant number 21586, in the "D" division on 4 November 1844 when he was just 16 years of age. He soon rose to the rank of Sergeant, then to Acting Inspector.

From this position he transferred to the Detective Department of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, London, on 23 January 1856, where he was appointed as Inspector and then promoted to Superintendent.
