    Have you tried looking under "The Gas Light and Coke Company" You might find a lead there.

      You probably need to know where they were living. Most gas, electricity and water undertakings were owned by the local council, as were many bus/tram services.

        Thanks i do know in 1915 he was in Walthamstow London and later in Sevenoaks during the war when he was the brave soul who volenteered to accompany a fireman into the main gas chamber when the Germans dropped a bomb into the gas works 1944/45 .

        I wonder if that made the local newspaper which i think would have been the Sevenoaks news ? if my childhood memory is right?
