Occupation Interests / The LMS in Doncaster
« on: Thursday 03 July 25 20:08 BST (UK)  »
Hello all
I've got an ancestor shown in the 1939 Register as living in Doncaster. He worked on the railway as a passed fireman, passed for driving LMS. I always thought Doncaster was a GNR/LNER depot, Was there a LMS depot or did they share some part with the LNER. He had previously been on the L&Y railway before it got amalgamated. He lived at 100 Cedar Rd, Doncaster. He had three brothers on the railway too, all ex LYR then LMS but they were in the Dewsbury area.
Many Thanks
Mick

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Herbert Blakeley KIA 14/9/1916 Thiepval France
« on: Monday 09 December 24 15:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all
is it possible to do anything with this photo at all. Its of my gt Uncle Herbert Blakeley 9th West Yorkshire Regt, killed attacking the Wunderwerk at Thiepval on the Somme 14 Sep 1916. I visited his grave in Sept but didn't think the photo quality was good enough to put on his grave.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Technical Help / Merging Two Different Trees on Ancestry.
« on: Thursday 16 May 24 13:55 BST (UK)  »
Hello All

Does anyone know if it's possible to merge two different trees together on Ancestry, (I know how to merge people). I've managed to find common ancestors that link the trees and rather than having to input all the info manually into a new tree I'm hoping I can just merge them.
Kindest Regards
Mick

Thanks for the reply Tony. I've had a good look on ancestry already, found lots of info but was hoping to find a few pics. I've got quite a few LBSCR people in the tree, two of
 them progressed quite far, one was station superintendent at Three Bridges then Brighton and the other was the treasurer for the LBSCR

Hello All

Does anyone know if there was a staff magazine published for employees of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway and if there was any ideas where copies would be kept now, National Archives, The Railway Museum York or some place else.
many Thanks
