Title: barry employment records
Post by: stephen7 on Saturday 18 July 15 11:13 BST (UK)

hi all,
 doing some research for a friend and trying to find employment records for one of her rellies. on the 1911 census he is listed as a tug boat driver in barry, his death cert in 1943 states he was a retired tug driver for great western railway. i seem to remember that rail workers records are available somewhere but the old grey matter can't remember where. does anyone havw access to, or let me know where i can access any of the records which may be relevant?
thanks
steve

There are some Railway Employment records available on Ancestry; not sure what areas are covered.
