HANSON, Ernest I have one railway ancestor Ernest Hanson 1881-1969 who I believe was an engine driver based in the Newcastle upon Tyne area.I have heard Blaydon mentioned. He was reputed to have driven the Flying Scotsman at some time. I sppose he would have retired around 1946 if retirement age was 65. I'd like to know more about him or where I could find information that would help Lynne Ellerby 1881-1969

HOBBS, Richard Miles My Grandfather Richard Miles HOBBS, was apprenticed at the North London Railway 1872-77; He then appears as an "Engine Fitter" in the 1881 Census, lodging at Clearville Place, ASTON, Warwick. What Railway workshops could have been located in that area? He married in Clerkenwell, Middx in 1883 and moved to Gateshead, Co Durham, where, since I later "dumped" a quantity of"Dorman Long" Linen drawings of bridge structures, I can only surmise he worked for that company for some years. However, in August 1885, he appears to have been on a project in BEACONSFIELD, where my Mother was born, returning to Middlesbrough, shortly afterwards. What railways would have been being built in that area at that date? By 1901 Census, he had moved to Caerleon, Mon, where presumably there would be bridge/railway building shops, as he was described as "Inspecting Engineer, Railway Material", he died in June 1910 and was reported to have been in the Bristol area a week or so previously. I would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction to resolve some of these issues Godfrey W. Owen 1830-1910

HOLLAND, Walter A railway fireman. He was born in 1880 and retired around 1945 and died in 1951. He lived in Wavertree, a suburb of Liverpool, and I remember that he walked to and from work so he would have been based around Wavertree or Edge Hill depots. Ann Jeffs 1880-1951
