Three Centuries of Transport, 7000 images of the transport covering Nottingham, South Gloucestershire to the Waterways of Lancashire. RootsChat really liked the map of Industrial Trafford Park that could be viewed over the years as the transport carved the land to the Industrial centre the place it became.

SHIPS IN UK PORTS 1881
http://www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/81Intro.html
Quote from: website
The 1881 Census contains details of many ships in UK ports. These records are useful for tracing seamen and passengers coming into or going out of the country.

For those who do not have easy access to the 1881 census the following pages give the details of the people concerned.

A new section of the site is now in progress. This will cover mariners at various shore establishments eg Royal Navy Barracks, Training Schools & Colleges, Seamen's Homes, Prisons etc.

Quote from: Audrey
Would recommend looking at this if you have missing Ship masters, Stewards, Stewardess's Etc



Trains

London Midland and Scottish Railway
http://www.btinternet.com/~nttsue/LMSVariousMags.html (http://www.btinternet.com/~nttsue/LMSVariousMags.html)
Obituaries and retirements from the 1930's



A Great Site that is fully searchable.
http://mikes.railhistory.railfan.net/pindex.html

This is an interesting site. It contains more information about trains than people but may be helpful to people whose ancestors worked for the LMS. It mentions a few people -
Sir James Allport
Thomas Edmondson .. the inventor of the printed ticket
William Hudson, a York linen draper, known as the "Railway King"
S. W. Johnson
Matthew Kirtley
George Stephenson
