I wonder if anyone can help me, I am trying to find some information on Henry G Bright born c 1865 in Colyton. I know that he married Gertrude Baker and they had 6 children, one being Hilda Bright my g grandmother. I seem to remember reading an article in a magazine ( The Great Western Railway or something similar) that he was killed on the railway at Windsor. { This information was on a family search site but has now disappeared} I know that at that time he was living in Clewer,Windsor and was registered as a Railway Pass Guard in the cencus of 1901. Please can anyone tell me how to find the article again and whether he died whilst they were trying to build the New Windsor Line ( which was never completed) or whether he just died in a railway accident.
I would love to hear from anyone who has any information on this branch of the Bright family as I have become a bit stuck and can't seem to find anything of substance out about any of them.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post and good luck to all researchers of the Bright families
