    If you have a Findmypast subscription you will also find Henry and his wife in the 1939 Register, and although he is working on the railways he is not listed as a porter, but I can't tell what he was working as because that would breach FMP's rules.

    I think the Cheshire Line became LMR

    On another site written by Guy Etchells who visits this site

    A caller, caller-off, caller-out ; loads and unloads trucks in a goods
    depot; calls out particulars of incoming and outgoing consignments, from
    lables on goods, to good checkers q.v. in preparation for their removal
    from platform or wagon by goods porters q.v. cf caller (709)
    Cheers
    Guy


    it is likely that your ancestor progressed form the job of a Porter, to that of a'caller off'. I find it hard to believe that a porter would be allowed to such a job!

    Make sure you cancel your payment details if you do not intend using the site also make a list of all the records you want to view so you get the maximum benefit out of the 14 days.

    FREE info

    1851 & 1881 census are free to view on any subsc site, as is the BMD register

    You can find some of these on familysearch.org : freebmd.org.uk : Lancashirebmd.org.uk: not forgetting Lancsopc.org.uk

    Evening geneius

    Thanks for the advice, we have decided to leave the 14 day free trial until we are on a weeks holiday and the hit the 1939 register hard. The list has already begun

    We have an Ancestry Subscription so we will definately only be using the trial.

    We have used the first 2 websites you mention, but will be exploring the other 2 once I get a day off.

    Regards

    Andy
