The online staff appointments for Broad Street Station (in the City of London) show his appointment there on 2 March 1892.

Individual staff records for this railway are held at the National Archives, Kew, in class RAIL 529. They are not online, but there is some partial name-indexing in the catalogue, see here ...

For a fuller picture you will need to visit Kew, or have someone go on your behalf.
