    1. [WOR] Switch Back at Kidderminster
    2. D&P Veasey
    3. Hi I'm trying to trace information about Robert WILMER. So far my only success has been the 1901 census where he is aged 29 and workng as an engine driver on a switch back owned by Thomas CLARKE on Corporation Street, Kidderminster. It seems to be part of a fair or exhibition as there is also a shooting saloon next door. Going back to the 1881 census, Thomas Clarke is running a roundabout at the cattle market in Kidderminster, again with the shooting saloon next door. However, no sign of Robert WILMER. The census refs. are RG13/2766/123/16 and RG12/2315/43/12. If any one has more information about the switch back, or about Robert WILMER I would be very grateful. Peter
