Thanks for that. Should have been g.g.grandfathers, not g.grandads. I have another g.g.grandad employed by GWR as a porter in Wiltshire 1851. Maybe the records will become easier to get from overseas at some stage. Good to know they are there anyway. Thanks. Nancy Australia > Nancy, Probably the Great Western Railway.
