NER Railway Scarborough
« on: Monday 09 January 12 17:07 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I wonder if anyone knows where to find information about employees of the NER.
I have an ancestor, Henry Atkinson, who was a signal fitter (NER) in Aug 1921.
He lived in Scarborough.
The Ancestry site has railway employees, but as far as I can see, not from the NER.

Any help gratefully received.

He would have been a member of his Union, (probably the NUR), but most of the railway Unions were amalgamated into the RMT in recent years.

They have good records.

If he stayed employed after the 1st January 1923, he would have become an employee of the LNER, which included amongst others the GNR and NER. At this time there was no sick pay made to employees so staff on the GNR had commenced a Sick and Funeral Fund. In 1923 it was opened to all staff of the new railway, and its records constitute a virtual census of employees as most of them joined. The records are held at Doncaster Borough Council Archives, King Edward Road Balby Doncaster.
