    Default Railway Ancestors

    I have a number of my ancestors who worked on the railways, but I don't know which companies they worked for. Any help on the names below would be appreciated:-

    John RICE - bd 1822 Leicestershire (Station Master in Belper, Derbyshire)
    Harold Arthur RICE - bd 1881 Cheshire (Railway Clerk to Station Master mainly in Crewe)
    Robert EDWARDS - bd 1868 Cheshire (Bookeeper for railways & recorded at a railway Dock keeper in 1901)

    Thanks
    Loretta

    1. Use Wikipedia to help identify the company.

    2. Use the the National Register of Archives to track down the whereabouts of surviving records.

    3. Also see the National Archives Research Guide
