saw your posting on Rootschat.

I am also looking for information on my family (Barclay) to emigrated from Ayr Scotland to Argentina at the same time to build the railways.

Was wondering if you found any useful sources of information.

Hi Adrian

Sorry to say I've found absolutely nothing but I am in touch with the Argentinian branch of the Rayson clan. All I need now is to learn Spanish or should that be Portugese

Sorry I am unable to help

Happy hunting

We seem to be in a similar position. I too have made contact with the Argentina branch of my family. Luckily they speak English.

I know my family worked for the Central Argentine Railway. I have found out that the Society for Irish Latin American Studies www.irishargentine.org have a database of British & Irish employees of the Central Argentine Railway from 1870-1961. Unfortunately I have to join the society to get access. Once I have access, I will check for Rayson's and let you know what I find.

Hi Chris

Have now gained access to the database of British & Irish employees of the Central Argentine Railway from 1870-1961.

Unfortunately no sign of a Rayson or a Barclay.

I'll keep searching and let you know if I find anything.

I am also searching for an ancestor who worked on the Argentinian railway - George Walter Austin born 28.06.1881 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. He was killed working on the railway. I guess about 1920's. His wife was Alice nee White and they had a son Richard - they retuned to Grimsby, Lincs after his death.
Does anyone have any information?
I'm sure there would have been an obituary in the local Grimsby paper.

Hi
I was trawling the net, supposed to be U.K only for a particular name.For some reason "Settles in Buenos Aires" came up.Was looking if a link had been put on the Emigrants board and saw this old topic. Very informative website indeed.it has British consulant marriages.Burials of people from all over the U.K and Monumental inscriptions.Plus lots more
