Hello, I am looking for any information about the person in this photo. Is he a railwayman? He could be a member of any of the following families: Robertson, Lord, Winnett, Dunk, Halliday.

cheers

Seems to be  likely they were this address from 1886 -1901 :

You could try contacting the National Railway Museum http://www.nrm.org.uk/
They might be able to help

Hi

You might also try London Underground's museum?

The picture was taken in Baker Street, so Metropolitan Railway?
If it was pre-unification of the individual lines then it could be any of the lines.

The cap, to me, implies a porters cap?
Shaped like that so that luggage carried shoulder/head height wouldn't knock it off.

Hello Ray,

Thanks for that bit of info, I will check the London Underground Museum.

I agree with Ray, my first thoughts were porter, but did not want to lead you in the wrong direction.

Ray and Jennifer,

I looked at the London TRansport MUseum site and the uniforms shown there are similar but not close enough. The search continues.

Thanks for your input

Hi Wally

I expect that there may have been different updates to their (whoever they were) uniforms.

What I meant was "send them the photo and ask them".
Not only may they be able to identify, but they may want a copy from you.
