Looking for my grandfather
 

Hi everybody,
I am trying to find details of my grandfather who worked for the LMS and was a driver out of Bescot in the 50s.
I can remember going with him on a freight to dudley on the footplate of a duck8.
Any Ideas how I can find these details

Welcome to Forum williamwells 4401.

The LMS employment records are held at the Public Records Office at Kew. Could be a long job though as the LMS employed over 1,000,000 people.

There has also been a book published on research railway families.

This link to the Midland Railway Society might be helpful.

Best wishes,
