I know from the census that George Sutcliffe was employed as a signalman at Starbeck Parkrow, Bilton cum Harrogate in1881, and as stationmaster at North Grimston on the Malton Driffield Line in1891 and 1901.
I would like to know where railway employment records for these stations and other connected railway archives are kept. I've already asked about North Grimston at the Railway Museum in York without success, and have the excellent book about the 'Malton Dodger', but the author of this book doesn't include George in his list of Stationmasters, nor does his book have a bibliography so that I can pursue further the interesting details he gives about the station and its day to day running.
Any info about relevant station life in these places at this time gratefully received.

I would like to find the whereabouts of railway employment records for the period from 1870 to 1935. I'm interested in Henry Sutcliffe who worked in the railway stores in Gateshead, and George Sutcliffe who was a railway porter at Penshaw, then probably moved to Stockton, as his marriage is recorded there.
I'm also interested in New Penshaw itself, particularly the whereabouts of Pit Row, and any information about the station there.

Thanks Robyn.
 Have you any ideas about tracking down fishing boats and their crews from Hull and earlier from Brixham?

I recently wanted to do some research about the Moravian Congregation at Malmesbury and the archivist tells me that the Congregational Diary for Malmesbury including the years 1870 to 1921 was borrowed by someone from the Bristol Moravian Congregation for an exhibition in 1957. This is the last known record of this book. Can anyone shed any light on its present whereabouts or even whether it still exists?

Hi Dotsut
Joshua is my  G5grandfather too. My line comes down through Joshua, Nathaniel, John, Edward, Henry, Fred, Muriel (my mother). Henry left Pudsey and moved to Gateshead which is where I lived until I married. I am now near Beverley, so handy for both Hull and Fulneck. The archives at Fulneck are fascinating. If you're on Ancestry you can find some of the information I got from there on my Sutcliffe Damms family tree.
Thanks for your info. I look forward to seeing if you find Joshua's grave.

Wiltshire / Moravian Church, Malmesbury

I'm looking for a gravestone for Joshua Sutcliffe 1722-1802. He was buried at the Moravian Church at Malmesbury. The church building has been on the market recently and the estate agents photograph clearly shows gravestones, however I'm told the seller has blocked entry to the graveyard. Does anyone know if Joshua's gravestone is still there?  I live 200 miles away and can't pursue the matter personally.
