Malcolm Linham Posted 29 October , 2006 Author Share Posted 29 October , 2006 Sylvia, Unfortunately thier is no Frank Jmaes Hudson commerated by the LNWR, thier is a H Hudson listed as a carriage cleaner. I see from your post that there is a gap between 1914 when he was a railway employee and when he enlisted in 1916. I can only suggest that as he would appear not to have been a railway employee at the time of his enlistment he did not qualify for commeration by the railway.

Drummy Posted 10 November , 2006 Share Posted 10 November , 2006 Would be kind enough to check if there is any entry for Herbert Birtles, KIA with the 21st Manchester's in 1916. He worked for the Railways before enlisting in 1914. Many thanks Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldstreamer Posted 14 November , 2006 Share Posted 14 November , 2006 Could you look up a John Taylor of the CG -North Eastern Railways thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Linham Posted 14 November , 2006 Author Share Posted 14 November , 2006 Coldstreamer, This one is a bit difficult due to Taylor being a very common surname. Thier are 3 listed under the Great Central 1/ Pte J Taylor a fireman 2/ Pte J Taylor a relay sub ganger 3/ Gunner J Taylor a clerk. Thier are 4 listed as serving with the North Eastern 1/ Pte J Taylor a frieght shunter 2/ Sgt J Taylor a platelayer 3/ Pte J Taylor a Loco machinist 4/ Pte J Taylor a operational labourer.

Wiltshire Posted 30 November , 2006 Share Posted 30 November , 2006 Malcolm I have only just seen your posting and I hope you are still able to look up railwaymen who died in the Great War. The person I am interested in is C Grist who appears on the war memorial at Waterloo Station, London. I think the company he worked for was London and South Western. Thanks in advance.

Malcolm Sylvia, There is a J J Hudson listed on the Northampton War Memorial (27 Arthur Street) - Northamptonshire regt and a T S Hudson (19 Cranbrook Street - though maybe this should be Cranbrook Rd) of the MGC. I have a vague feeling that there may be another Hudson on the Kingsthorpe War Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Bagshaw Posted 5 February , 2007 Share Posted 5 February , 2007 Bit late on this thread, but is there a Leonard Bockin (g)?? Pleeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeee!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Linham Posted 6 February , 2007 Author Share Posted 6 February , 2007 Anthony, Found no trace of Leonard Bockin, was this just a speculative search or do you have some information that you failed to mention. If you can provide a railway company I will have another look. Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bagshaw Posted 10 February , 2007 Share Posted 10 February , 2007 Cheers for looking. Just speculative really, the only thing that links him is that he was a railway porter, that's all. Back to the massive drawing board then Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Marshall Posted 10 May , 2007 Share Posted 10 May , 2007 Hello Malcolm, Would you mind looking for a Charles Robinson for me please? If there, he should be down as a clerk. He was from Leeds but I don't know the company he worked for. Thanks much, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Linham Posted 10 May , 2007 Author Share Posted 10 May , 2007 Nigel, There are 2 C Robinson’s listed, there are also a number of C Robinson’s with a second intial that |I have discounted. 1st C Robinson employed as clerk on the Great Central railway reached the rank of Sergeant. 2nd C Robinson employed as clerk on the Great Northern railway reached the rank of 2nd Lieutant. Hopes this helps. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 10 May , 2007 Share Posted 10 May , 2007 Malcolm, Thats great If they had both been with the same company I would have suggested that they were the same man, as my Mr Robinson was commissioned when he reached sergeant. I'll do some more digging, but thanks very much for the speedy response. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
