reaveley platelayer
in the middle 1800s some of my ancestors were platelayers i assume they layed the tracks but I'm not too sure. They came from the Middleton-in-teasdale area and surrounding areas. One of them eventually got promoted to railway station master so the census says but I'm not too sure about that either. The Reaveley married into a surgeons family which was really frowned upon and therefore was written out of her fathers will. Her brother was a very prominent surgeon. would love to hear more of what a platelayers life was like back then. Dangerous I imagine.

which records would I look to find my ancestors (employee records) for railways? William Heslop came from County Durham and William Reaveley came from Northumberland. The first being a platelayer the second railway signal man. the both 1870s/1880s and beyond. They were both deceased at a relatively early age about 40s to 50's. Thanks.
ps tried the railway gazette couldnt find them

Have a browse of this resarch guide on TNA's web-site - Railways: Staff Records. Where you look depends on the company for which they worked.
