Dublin employee records of London and Northern Railways

[DevonPaddyB]

I had a GGF Peter Byrne who was a clerk in the dublin offices. I was told that company records are available to search in Dublin. Does anyone have any information about this please?

Did you mean the Great Northern Railway of Ireland?

Maybe try the Irish Railway Records Society? https://irrs.ie/

Many thanks for your response - I'll give them a try.

I found no hits for "London & Northern Railway"?

Could it be the London & North Western Railway, serving Birmingham, Manchester, etc, and headquartered at London Euston?

Sorry - I should have said London and North Western Railway Company.
I found this reference to the Dublin line.

"In 1861 the London and North Western Railway Company which had been operating a steam packet service across the Irish Sea, moved its Irish terminus from Kingstown (Dun Laoghaoire) to North Wall Quay.
 In 1883 the company bought the Prince of Wales Hotel, and soon afterward replaced it with the London and North Western Hotel. It was later known as the British Rail Hotel. With the demise of the ferry services from North Wall, the building was taken over by CIE, and it now contains offices of Irish Rail. It was later known as the British Rail Hotel.
Dublin Street Directory 1862 places the Prince of Wales Hotel between 55a and 55b North Wall Quay."

Thanks - that's the railway company my relatives worked for. Any idea where I might find employee details or company photos from the Dublin line.

Have you tried to contact the National Archives of Ireland so see if they have any records?
