Title: Ongar railway, looking for Grandad
Post by: saxonmick on Monday 19 January 09 18:35 GMT (UK)

I AM TRYING TO FIND ANY INFO ABOUT MY GRANDAD
CHARLES JOHN ADAMS.
HE WORK AT ONGAR RAILWAY STATION ABT: 1900-1914.
HE LIVED IN THE RAILWAY COTTAGES.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN A SIGNALMAN OR A PORTER.
I AM UNABLE TO FIND ANY PICTURES OF HIM AT WORK OR ANY WHERE.
I HAVE TRYED ALL THE NORMAL THINGS WITH NO LUCK.
I AM HOPING SOMEONE ELSE HAD A RELATIVE WHO MAY  HAVE WORKED THERE
AND HAVE SOME PICTURES .
I HAVE SOME PICTURES OF THE STATION ABT,1914,BUT THERE ARE NO NAMES WITH THEM.
