I have several generations of ancestors who worked at the Beckton gasworks. Is there any mention of anyone with the surname Ager?
With thanks
Marilyn Kenyon

Picked up this thread again.
Could you look up Henry Amos Frederick Hill. I found Henry's attestation papers and he is noted as working for a gas company.
Would be interested if there was any information or photos.
Thanks

My Great Uncle F J Gobell Rfmn 1465 12th Londons "The Rangers" is listed on the Gas Light & Coke Company War Memorial.
He died on 1st July 1916 so not sure if he would be in this 1915 journal.
Could you check for me please.
Thank you.
Mark

Hi Biker,
I just come across this thread, whilst searching for Information on my 2x Great grandfather name of Henry C J LARKIN. He worked for a Gaslight Co in London and had a pension from them. Could he or his daughter Louisa be mentioned in this book. I would be very grateful if you could have a look when you have a spare moment! Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. Mike

Hi Ian
I have made the list available to view, just click on the link a few posts above this one. Sorry it was very small before and perhaps you didn't notice it.

I'm searching for my great, great grandfather Edward Adams who was a stoker at the Gasworks from 1881 to around WW1. Evidently, when he died in 1937, age 81, he was one of the oldest surviving Pensioners. I understand that the Local Studies Library at Stratford have copies of Co Partners from 1911. I am wondering if you could suggest searching other sources?
Also, Edward was the son of a Wesleyan preacher and I believe he became a Methodist. I expect that he would have joined a Union.
Many thanks,
Karen.
