Hi Maid Marion and Glitter Baby Thanks for your replies. 1861: George was a railway worker ( in Devon) 1871: A gas manager in Little Amwell Hertfordshire 1891: Manager of a gas works in Buntingford Hertfordshire I assume he was still in a gas works in 1881, his son was shown as a gas man living in Datchworth so I tend to think that they were probably working together. regards Tricia
