Hi Nell, Very quiet Christmas, how about you? Thanks for the National Archives leaflets. Merry, Thanks for the address, no sign of him. I've worked out that the line to Kings X is G.N.R. and the line to St.Pancras is M.R. but can anyone tell me the line (as it was) into Liverpool Street? Thanks, Viv

It's any newspaper or trade reports where the rellie gets a mention, that the site manager has traced and added to the database.. I spent about 12 years trying to prove my rellie worked for Great Western Railway. When this site uploaded the Railway stuff I found a Baord of Trade report about a very minor rail accident, but one that had implications for future safety.........There was my rellie, giving his opinion of what happened. Cost me £6 and about 48 hours to get the report. Merry

My gt gt grandfather was a railway guard in London from about 1841 onwards. He lived in Pentonville Road just along from Kings X and St.Pancras. He had been living and working as a baker in Ware, Hertfordshire previous to this ( the line ran into Liverpool Street). I have no idea which company/line he worked for/on. Does anyone have any suggestions where I could find out which company he worked for and maybe find his records? Any help appreciated Viv
