Thanks Harry.
I have the Vallance book.
William BARCLAY and family seem to have left Liverpool around 1872/73.
By 1880 the family are living in West Ham, Essex and William is employed on January 14th, 1880 on the railway at the Victoria Docks. I have copies of the Midland railway records that show his time there until his death in 1898.
I have yet to find where he was between 1872 and 1880 although Vallance says he was on the Great Eastern Railway followed by the Thetford and Watton Railway before joining the Midland.
That's where I'll turn my attention to next.
Regards. Dave
