My great great grandfather Thomas KELSEY b 1851 Brignorth SAL was a Railway worker most of his life. I have found him on 1871, 1881 and 1891 census as first a Porter and then a Railway Guard. He married three times and 90% of his descendants now live in NZ or USA. How do I find out which railway company he worked for ? Should I deduce from where he lived and what companies had stations in those towns or is there another way. In 1871 he was in Brierley Hill which seems to have had a GWR station, on the other two census he was in Wolverhampton which I know will have had more than one company since it was such a big junction. His 1st wife was living in Dudley before they married and orginally came from the Leintwardine HEF/ Clungunford SAL and Wales direction. No-one else in Thomas's family that I have found seems to have joined the Railway.
Any help appreciated,
