LMS Employee Records
 

Hi to everybody on the Forum !!

Is there any real clever people out there who can point me in the right direction for LMS Emloyee Records. Do any records still exist anywhere ?
My Grandfather ws a Loco Driver based in Leicester. Any info would be much appreciated.

Hello Budgie and welcome to the forum. I assume you are researching the family tree? Hope you have plenty of patience,we've been doing ours since 1985 and I still can't sort out my mother's grandparents!
Anyway, have you tried the national archives? www.nationalarchives.gov.uk will get you started. Also a book "Was your grandfather a railwayman?" is available,Try the www.familyhistorybookshop.co.uk for that. Then there's the Railway Family History Society at www.railwayancestors.org.uk . Also, possibly the National Railway Museum, Leeman Road, York., may have some idea about what records exist and where.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your quest, all the best, 62440.

Welcome to the Forum Budgie.

The LMS Employee Records are kept at Kew Public Records Office.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

John H-T; I think you'll find that's called The National Archives nowadays, changed it's name several years ago but most people still call it The Public Records Office which is O.K. until you need the website. Regards, 62440

Thanks 62440!

Best wishes,

Once again, thank you Guy's for your info and anything else that may
