Your upton tale has just reminded me of a search I had for what I originally thought was a Mary Ann upton married to a james hartshorn. It turns out I have 2 Mary Ann uptons, both born about 1826, one married to a james hartshorn and the other to a james glover hartshorn. Took a bit of time to work those 2 out

2 gt grandma was born in Manchester. Her dad was born cheadle staffordshire and, according to the census, her dads mother was born in newbold Leicestershire, but, as I haven't found her marriage yet, I can't confirm it. Also didn't realize there are 2 newbolds in Leicestershire. As it happens, 2gt grandma, her parents and siblings all moved to Leicester from Manchester.

I've checked one or two family stories out. Some are what you might call somewhat true. One was to do with my 2 gt grandmas family came from Manchester, which is only true in the sense that 2gt grandma was born there but her dad was born in cheadle, staffordshire. Also some relations mentioned are usually a generation out. In some cases, where aunt or uncle was used in a tale, they actually meant great aunt or great uncle. The only one I've checked that is completely wrong relation wise was to do with grandmas aunt Annie wright. Annie wright was actually grandmas grandma and it was Annie's aunt the tale was to do with.

The Common Room / Re: Registering birth 3 years late? in 1850?

Silly question. Is the 1850 date the date on the register index or from the certificate?

Hi all
For the Australians, I have two fairly famous people on my dads side.
Reginald Coombe was a JP and did a lot of work on the juvenile court system in Australia was married to Adelaide Headland, who is something like cousin 4 times removed to me. Her mother is the daughter of the Brand family who built the pub at overland corner.
Archer Russell wrote books about his travels around Australia researching the wildlife and was literary critic for the Sydney Herald. He is something like cousin 3 times removed

Just a thought, but the job may be to do with the holes drilled in the rail at the ends where the fishplates join the rail together.

Hi all
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=tp9ceqPrStEC&pg=PA259&lpg=PA259&dq=rail+filer&source=bl&ots=gSD65-YHe-&sig=ACfU3U1jlKQS-UUg9Bl9oFvYvqiZ1i8RaQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiz65mEo4PqAhUFSBUIHW6JBtQQ6AEwBXoECAQQAQ#v=onepage&q=rail%20filer&f=false
This book has rail filer down as an occupation but doesn't say what the job is.
Also, depending on which country and when, a lot of rail is what is known as bull head rail. I think the T shaped rail you are on about is flat bottom rail, which has been used a lot more since the 1950s/60s
