Arrr. Hang on then....

Residence Date: 16 Aug 1888
Company: London, Chatham and Dover (East Kent)
Description: Register of injuries to workmen 1880 - 1891

Although it doesn't sound as though he was seriously hurt maybe it put him off a life on the railways as can't see him after this.

There are no entries on this record after 1881 which seems to tie in with the 1882 retirement I mentioned above so suggests the record again relates to the father:

Kevin, could you point us in the direction of the records that relate to Walter Charles?

Yes Walters father also called Walter also worker for the same rail company as a driver and was indeed born in 1833

My Walter was a fireman (coalman) on the railways,would be a big leap in proffession tho not impossible.

Not too sure about that Mel, there are people who are far better than me at finding census fugitives!
EDIT: Refers to the comment about me not finding them, not the record Mel has posted above!

Kevin, is this the railway employment record you refer to?

This one relates to the father Walter born 1833. If you read the image the date of appointment was 1862 and this Walter Stark left when he retired in 1882.
