Hi guys, great stuff.

I'll check this all out, but I like the engine driver connection. One of Sarah Ann's younger brother's was Henry (my Great grandfather) and he was a footman/domestic servant in Marylebone on the 1891 census when he was just over 17 years of age. I often wondered what took him to London at such a young age, but presumably it was because his sister and brother-in-law were already living there.

Henry wasn't a footman for long because on 19.12.1891 (when he'd just turned 18), he changed jobs and started at Paddington Station working as a cleaner for GWR, and eventually becoming an engine driver and relocating to Bristol.

It looks like you've answered more than I asked for so very many thanks.
