Railway employees
« on: Monday 05 September 16 08:48 BST (UK) »
Hi

Are there any records existing that covers employment on the railways, even down to basics like name and where they worked?

Regards
Darren

If your relative was a driver or Fireman remember that the union ASLEF also covers Ireland historically and to this day.
