Two records appear for Hubert D R Parr:

March 1904, appointment minute 14769, to R Pman (Rural postman) Leatherhead to W Horley

November 1906: minute E26729, to T Pman (temporary??), Walton on Thames

Hope that is of interest

As one who helped index this I had a few people I hoped to find - unfortunately all missing though

I feel the same way.  I helped index this one too.  I only had one person in the family who worked for the Post Office - my dad - who joined in 1956, and he's not on the list !

Hi Nick

I'm glad it's not just me, despite various searches for my great grandfather by name, dates etc I cannot find him.  He worked for years with the PO firstly as a clerk and then as a sub post officemaster.  He just doesn't appear.

Are there records missing or is he just misfiled somewhere?  Anyone got any ideas?

well I never, just being nosey by reading through this thread when I noticed someone mention telephonist... well my MIL was one when she was a gal but didn't this index would cover that.  So on the off-chance I've just done a quick check and there she is   
1937! MIL is now 91 with full faculties, so I don't think I will be telling her that her work records are on ancestry...sssh!
