I have a 200-page book that lists every member of staff employed by London County Council on 1st June 1929. It gives their date of entering service, wage, job title and salary increment. I am willing to do look-ups. It would help if you have some idea of which department or field of work your ancestor was employed in, as there is no overall alphabetical index, it is arranged by department.

Hi
I have just received a marriage certificate for Joseph Heyes age 30 on 10/01/1930 when he married Emily Chambers at Ilford. His address is given as 78 Wellesley Road, Ilford and is rank/profession is
"L.C.C. Official". So I'm hoping Joseph will be listed but sorry I don't know which department.
I have been hunting for a Joseph Heys for quite a while and this Joseph Heyes could be ours. The father's name is correct but the occupation is wrong, but other siblings had upped their father's employment status on their marriage certificates as he had died in 1906 (The best was Company Director when he was a wood cutter/sawyer) and likewise siblings got listed as Heys or Heyes on various official documentation I have found. It wasn't helped by their parents only registering the first two children in 1882 and 1884 the subsequent four I haven't been able to find in the GRO indexes and Joseph is one of those....and over the years I have searched under Keys and Reys and even Mays.
Many Thanks

Only white collar workers are listed by name, there are obviously thousands of blue collar workers that are just lumped under their job title.
Hope this helps.

Many thanks for the Heys detail but I was looking for Joseph as Heyes, as per the marriage certificate which arrived today. Was there no one with that spelling ??

Hi Sue, no there is no one named with the surname Heyes.
There are Hayes but of course this is a common surname.
-
I expect the book although published 1929 was collated the year before (I used to work for the GLC/ILEA at County Hall) and this Joseph Heyes may have just joined the Authority thus enabling him at 30 to get married - so he could easily have missed the printing deadline.
A BIG thank you for looking though.

Hi, I just stumbled across this site whilst researching my great great grandfather. Would your book happen to have an entry for Jesse Godfrey? I beleive he was the Chief Solicitor.

Hi! My great grandad James Field worked for the council in Hammersmith. He was a sewer flusher. I wonder if he might be on your list? I've been researching him for some time and it would be lovely to find out a little more about him!
Many thanks!
