Hello from Stafford

[ludorabbit]

Hello I have become interested in the railway following searches made
for my ancestors most of whom worked in this area
My great great grandad worked for GNR as a station master and it
appears this was a well respected job, I saw the book by Hardy, My ancestor was a railway worker and that lead me here, I am hoping I might learn something about my relatives some worked at Kings Cross and some in Brighton. Would this book help me with my search, thank you.

A very good morning to you, welcome to the forum, I hope you find the info you want on your family.
I dont know if the book will help you, but there are a lot of helpful friendly people on here.

Enjoy.

Hello ludorabbit and welcome to the Railway Forum. A station Master in your grandfather's day would have been a highly respected job. My grandfather on my mothers side was also a station master in Cape Town.
