Hello Dorothy and welcome to the Railway Forum. I am also an ex-footplate man, but I worked on the Rhodesia Railways and so am not able to help you too much. The footplate is a hard job, but one that most men would not want to give up. There are a lot of ex-BR members on this site and they will be able to give you far more information about the railways of GB than I can. I arrived in the UK just after steam ended. Good luck with your family history.
