Thanks Graham and Redroger, I've contacted TSSA and looking at the National Archives guide.

Occupation Interests / My Grandfather's Career with Railways, Based in Darlington.
« on: Wednesday 15 April 20 09:47 BST (UK)  »
Since he worked in the offices, I assume his Union was Transport Salaried Staff Association. His eventual job was Railway Chief Works Clerk in about 1962 before Beeching changes to the infrastructure. Can Anyone suggest where I can start looking for confirmation of the few facts I know and hopefully find more? Does anyone know which Union Records I should start looking in?
Cheers.

Hi Marfric,
My Great Great Grandfather was also on Tourmaline in 1881 census. Did you find out any other information. One of the First Mates killed himself, as the engines in the ship were inferior, having had a contract for the cheapest price accepted. seems an unfortunate ship to be on.
Cheers,
John
