Thankyou gadget and kali !!
gadget I tried the link but the drivers are not on this site,thankyou though for trying to help, its appreciated.

thats really helped to understand the progression of his career, and explains a question I had as to why he moved to Willenhall in Staffordshire...quite possibly to be a driver. I had found his census records in wales but only until he was a fireman, so the obvious next step was to become a driver where there was an opening.
I am very grateful to you for taking the time to help, and for giving me the name of the rail company.
best wishes cathy

Hi
My grtgrt grandfather James C W Nicholas b.1872 newport,monmouthshire, became an engine driver. I would like to know more of his work history to get to that position. I thought that if I can find the company he worked for they may have records.
can anyone help please
thanks cathy

Hi Trees
I think its a possibility that he may have got his memories `mixed` with the address, yes. It`s always difficult when you just keep getting little snippets of info, and very often they come up when you are talking to them about something else entirely!! But they say nothing worthwhile is ever easy...
best wishes,lourdes x

Hi Trees
Thats so uncanny!...my train of thoughts too.
I  have just been thinking that I need to pinpoint where they lived somehow but its too late for any census records. I hadn`t thought about bapism records,so I will have to try to get the details and check it out from there.
thankyou

ps. on the 1911 census Georgina is still living with her parents at 10 court 6 Swan St. Wolverhampton. ( she has a son age 3, and she didn`t marry  George Caine till 1914)
They went on to have 2 more sons,so its these I will try to get baptism info of.

Hi There :)
Thanks for your reply. I don`t have access to the book you mention but do you have any idea where I might get a copy ?
It would be great to be able to get a photo to put in dads memory book I am compiling. (he has alzeihmers now sadly, but we are trying everything we can to help his thinking, while he is still able to, with any clarity )
once again thankyou

Hi everyone
Do you recognise this name ? from Wolverhampton area around 1940s? Trying to pinpoint its whereabouts as Dad says this is where he worked when he left school, before his national service ! Dad is 80 now.
thanks lourdes01
