The Common Room / Early 20th Century Railway Driver Records
« on: Sunday 03 April 22 15:35 BST (UK) »
Hello
I'm looking for an ancestor who was an Train Driver from around at least 1891 (census record) to 1907 (when he left the trade union for Railway workers). I have his company and locations but his name doesn't appear on the indexed pages on ancestry from the TNA records. I know this could be a transcription error or indeed missing records issue, but in turning the pages of what records are on there I haven't been able to find any loco drivers!
Anyone had similar experiences or know if train drivers had a special record book away from porters and fireman?
Many thanks
Neil
