Railway - Shildon Station Master
« on: Tuesday 27 April 10 14:48 BST (UK) »
I have a distant cousin, Christopher Churchman, who was Station Master in Shildon on the 1901 census.

His address was shown as 4 Soho Cottages, which I believe is now a railway museum.

As a station master, would there be any record archives, rogues gallery photos etc?

Any leads appreciated.

cheers ... Paul

Hi Neil ..

yep, there's a whole site on the Timothy Hackworth Museum, but no email or contact link that I could find.

Maybe I missed it.

Shildon was on the North Eastern Railway. Staff records if they survive should be at the National Archive.
