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

Armed Forces / a strange one
« on: Sunday 07 October 12 04:21 BST (UK) »
hi all,
doing some research for a friend, she is trying to find out details on her grandfather, all she had was a name and a place in scotland. i have found him and his family but she has a family story of him in world war II which i would like to verify or not, as the case may be.
he was born in 1898 so was in hid 40's at the time and believe he was stationed in/around/near manchester.
would a famer from scotland be in some sort of force which would require him to be so far away from home, especially given his age and occupation? if so, how would i be able to find out?
any ideas suggestions would be welcome, as i find it difficult to believe this situation would arise, but given the family circumstances ( which i wouldn't like to go into on an open forum) can find no other reason for the circumstances.
