I had a look for my great grandfather Henry Kane, who worked for the railway
in Glasgow from 1874 until about 1915. No sign!
Are these records complete, or are there more to come?

No, they're not complete. There is a fairly detailed explanation on Ancestry of what they have.
:)

Hi Margp, that's a very kind offer. I'm afraid details are sketchy as we haven't really started on this branch of OH's tree, it's just what he can vaguely remember of his grandfather.
Fred Richardson, worked on the Great Eastern Railway, based in Braintree, between the First & Second World Wars, we think. He might have been a platelayer (or not) ..... His wife used to clean for the Braintree stationmaster Mr White.
I warned you it was vague! It was one of those families where people didn't talk much about the past, unfortunately.
Any info gratefully received.

Hi Pat
Can you tell me what year Fred was born, also is it Fred or Frederick if he was a Plate Layer this category may not be under the records that have just been released I think they are coming out next.

Hello again MargP
He was Frederick Charles Richardson b Braintree 1891. In the 1911 census he's described as a 'fitter', nothing to indicate he worked on the railway at that time but possible. He married Ethel May Simpson in Braintree in 1916, so if he was a railwayman presumably it was after that date.
As I said, all very vague, apparently by the time the OH was born grandmother had decided her husband's family was 'beneath her' and didn't want them spoken of, how sad. We found out he came from good old Ag Lab stock - like so many of us!
Thanks anyway
Pat

also Albert nelson train he was the stationmaster at whitedale station around 1912
thank you so much if any one can help

My ancestor Thomas Edgington was a railway labourer in the 1851 census but cannot find his records, then again if they are not yet complete then I will wait until they add more. He was in Oxford.
My great grandmothers brother is listed. WTF Coombs born 15 May 1887.

Hi Roopat
The only Frederick Richardson I can find was born 21/11/91 he his listed as a porter/checker or chucker date he entered service 29 Jan 1912 recommended by Southdown Brewery Lewes London Brighton and South Coast Line
Hi Wolliter
I can find no record for William Train or Albert Nelson Train
Margp

Margp - thank you, that sounds interesting, I'll google the people he was recommended by. I don't think we'll get far with this branch but Fred Richardson's railway career might explain why the OH is a steam railway 'anorak' - it's the genes! ;D

Revisiting this .
Wondering if it is worth re checking for my great grandfather Henry Kane in Glasgow?
