Employee of The Times, London 1864

Does anyone know of a site that would deal with the above?
I have looked at the newspaper's website and there is nothing that I can see that relates to the above. It is possible that one of my ggg uncles was a printer there at that time.

As The Times is still in existence today -  you could contact them to see if they know of any such records

Do census records support employment at The Times.  If not - do you have other documentation?

I have just sent The Times an email regarding this.
The 1861 census just has my ancestor as a printer, employer not mentioned.
I found a short article in a newspaper from 1864, giving his name and that he was a printer at The Times, Printing House Square. This was about his fathering a child (he was already married with a couple of children) but didn't reveal his age or any other details that I could check.
Thanks, I shall keep looking
